Croydon Whisky Festival 2027

Back for our 6th year as South London's premier whisky event. A celebration of craft distilleries and independent bottlers
About this Event

A world of whisky descends on Croydon once each year - don't miss the festival that was voted All But Drams "Festival of the Year" 2024 and continues to grow both in numbers and admiration (from whisky fans near and far). Featuring 30+ craft whisky distilleries and independent bottlers, Croydon Whisky Festival is rare in excluding corporate brands to allow the smaller producers and bottlers to shine. The focus here is on flavour, quality and passion from those making and curating whisky, from around the world.

Grab your free branded festival glass (yours to keep) and sample the hundreds of whiskies on offer (all included in the ticket price). Hear directly from founders, distillers, blenders and brand ambassadors about the art, science and magic of their whisky range. There are also street food options, chill-out spaces and masterclass sessions for a deep-dive into key distilleries, categories or styles.

Hosted in the gorgeous Stanley Arts halls in south Norwood, this Victorian Arts centre is the perfect backdrop to an afternoon of whisky exploration. With a courtyard space for our food vendors and plenty of seating (indoors and out), take your time, grab a bite and enjoy a gentler pace of whisky tasting this March.

Full brand list will be updated shortly, please check back here and follow us on social channels for announcements.
