Beer Festivals

The 48th Cotswold Beer Festival returns from Friday 17th to Sunday 19th July 2026 and we can’t wait to welcome you back.

Expect a carefully curated range of 110+ (as always!) cask ales, following last year’s early sell out we will be doubling up on some popular beers and only opening the second cask on Saturday afternoon, alongside 45 ciders and perries.

It all takes place in the unique surroundings of Postlip Hall and it’s Tithe barn

Food-wise, we keep things simple and well done: wood-fired pizza across the weekend, SriLicious bringing bold flavours on Saturday, and the much-loved Postlip Burger BBQ back once again.

We’re still fine-tuning the live music and finalising the full beer and cider lists, but tickets are now on sale. More details to follow – but in the meantime, tell everyone(!) to get it in the diary.

Sessions Times

Friday 17th July – 6pm-11pm.
Saturday 18th July – 12pm-9pm.
Sunday 19th July – 12pm to 3pm (Subject to beer and cider remaining)

Book before the Early May Bank Holiday for a discount. New this year: All entry tickets now include £5 in beer tokens( to speed up getting your first pint), along with a souvenir pint glass and festival programme.
