14TH REAL ALE AND CIDER FESTIVAL - 16TH TO 19TH OCTOBER!
It's back this October for its 14th year, and we have some exciting news to bring fans of our festival!
So far, 150 Real Ales have been confirmed from 50 different breweries, with more still to come – we will be doubling up on many popular casks this year, but the aim is to have around 200 different ales for you to enjoy.
The selection for our 2025 festival comes from across the whole of the United Kingdom, with cask ales from England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland all being brought to Tunbridge Wells for your enjoyment.
Many of the brewers have promised specials for our event, including some keg beers being available in a cask as a one off, wooden barrel aged stouts, special brews just for this event, award winning beers from years before and of course the famous Kent Green Hop beers, only available at this that time of year.
We have secured at least 27 Green Hops beers from a variety of breweries in Kent, Sussex, and Surrey, with the aim of having over 30.
For the fans of cider, we have at least 70 different varieties for you to enjoy this year, again, many of the more popular ciders will be doubled up.
For fans of Keg beers, we'll have 14 on offer for you to enjoy thanks to Fuggles Beer Cafe and their support of the event.
Live bands, food stalls and of course the steam and diesel trains will be taking you on a real ale and cider journey like no other.
Train tickets are now available to purchase via our website, with discounts available at our ticket offices and the beer sales desk on the day, as in previous years, for CAMRA members.
