The Alconbury Weald Beer Festival is returning and this year it’s bigger than ever.
Held at The Pavilion, from June 27 to 29, the expanded three-day event follows the recent success of Alconbury Weald’s Food Festival and promises a broad selection of independent beers and ciders.
Frank Gillham from Wheatsheaf Brewery said: "Our first Beer Festival at Alconbury Weald last year was fantastic and we were absolutely blown away by the support and enthusiasm from everyone who came along.
"We’ve been working hard to make sure this year’s event is even better and can’t wait to see everyone and share some of our amazing beers and ciders."
