  • 34th Ipswich beer festival Thursday 25 – Sunday 28 July 2024 St Clement's Arts Centre

    Organised by the Briarbank Brewery in association with CAMRA, Ipswich Beer Festival will once again be held at St Clement’s Church in Ipswich.

    Festival organiser Rob Pyke commented, “The support we received last year was amazing, and I’d like to thank everyone who visited the festival over the four days. Bringing the Ipswich Beer and Cider Festival back to Ipswich was something I’d wanted to do for a long time, so to be now organising it for a second year is just amazing.”

    The festival will showcase over 100 real ales, craft beers and ciders from local and not so local breweries and will have some new elements incorporated, such as a collaboration bar showcasing collaboration beers between the Briarbank and other local breweries.

    Tickets will be available as a day or festival ticket, with early bird prices available until 30 June 2024. You will also have the option to purchase your beer tokens ahead of the festival. Keep your eyes peeled on their social channels and website for details on when ticket sales will be released.
