In 1997, 13 Charlburians put on a beer festival to raise money for the local primary school. Back then they sold 1,000 pints in a venue limited to 180 visitors.
In 2024, two an a half decades later, we celebrated our 26th festival. We welcomed over 2,000 people through our gates. We served over 6,000 pints of ale, craft beer, and cider (that's one every 5 seconds!).
It was an unmissable day, for all the family. We're sorry we have to wait until June 2025 for the next one!
Charlbury Beer Festival is run to raise money for good causes. We need the help of our sponsors to make that possible. If you'd like to be part of a the UK's biggest one day independent beer festival, raising money for great causes, please visit our sponsors page.
