St Austell Brewery Celtic Beer Festival

Cornwall’s biggest charitable beer festival will return on Saturday 22nd November from 11am until 11pm, showcasing over one hundred beers from some of the best brewers in the business – from the South West and beyond.

We're so excited to launch our Friday Festival Preview on Friday 21st November from 6.30pm - 10.30pm! The Friday Festival Preview offers a unique opportunity for beer enthusiasts to enjoy a more relaxed and intimate evening. Attendees will have the chance to sample a wide range of brews, engage with brewers, and hear directly from industry experts – all ahead of the weekend crowds.

We’re thrilled to be flinging open the doors of our historic Victorian brewery once again for a day of unforgettable fun! Join us as we celebrate the best of the South West (and beyond) with a vibrant mix of cask ales, kegged brews and fruity ciders – all handpicked to delight beer lovers old and new. From bold hops to malty classics, there’s something for every beer connoisseur’s palate.

But it’s not just about the drinks – get ready to dance, sing, and soak up the atmosphere with live entertainment all day long. And the best part? Every pint poured helps support incredible charitable causes right here in the South West.

Come for the beer, stay for the vibes and leave knowing you’ve made a difference. Cheers to that!

Please note this event is for Over 18's only and tickets are non-refundable.
