Enjoy a wide selection of beers from around the country with over 25 beers available. Meet old friends and make new ones as you sample half or full pints of real ale and cider. Enjoy your drinks on our station platform, or purchase a diesel train ticket and enjoy them onboard one of our heritage diesel services, hauled by one of our resident Class 31 locomotives, during your session.
Entry price includes souvenir re-usable pint glass for you to use on the day.
The Beer Festival takes place on the following dates and times;
Friday 7 June, 18:00 – 22:00
Saturday 8 June, 12:00 – 16:00

Sunday is our ‘drink up the dregs’ session where you can help us drink up the last of the different beers. It’s a reduced price for entry of just £3.50 (includes the souvenir pint glass).
We’re grateful for the support of Hop Union Brewery in putting together our selection of beers and ciders for this year’s event.
