Festival of Beer & Brewing 2026 (Stowmarket)

Set in the idyllic surroundings of the Museum of East Anglian Life in Stowmarket, the Festival of Beer & Brewing is one of the well-established summer events on the British brewing scene. From 2 to 5 July 2026, this festival, organised by CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale), celebrates real ales on tap, as well as traditional ciders and perries, in the warm, family-friendly atmosphere typical of English volunteer-run festivals. The buildings and meadows of the open-air museum provide a unique heritage setting, where visitors can sample beers from regional breweries and across the UK, alongside food and music. The event, now in its manyth year, celebrates both cask-conditioned brewing and the rural heritage of East Anglia. Relaxed, accessible and friendly, it is a wonderful introduction to British real ale culture. Further information: https://eastanglia.camra.org.uk/festivals
