Keswick Beer Festival 2011

The Keswick Beer Festival takes place every year on the 1st weekend in June, this year will be the 15th festival and it will be held on the 3rd and 4th June. Started in 1997, the festival is a charitable fundraising event organised by Keswick Rugby Club and Keswick Lions Club.

The festival has grown in popularity over the years and has become the biggest beer festival in the North, with 170 Real Ales plus bottled beers and cider it attracts nearly 6000 beer enthusiasts over the two days and is always a sell out event. Tickets must be bought in advance as there are no ticket sales on the day and the Saturday is already sold out, so be quick if you want to attend the Friday session.

The beer is obviously the main attraction but there will also be live entertainment provided by 6 different bands and plenty of food on offer and hopefully the sun will be shining! For more information about the festival and to buy tickets you can visit the Keswick Beer Festival website.
