About 65 cask-conditioned ales, all from small independent breweries, mostly unusual but with a few ‘old favourites’.
About 10 farmhouse ciders and perries. Quality food (new excellent veggie/vegan curry shack, hog roasts, burgers, chili, baguettes etc).
OPENING TIMES/TICKET PRICES:
Friday evening (6pm to midnight): £7
Saturday (noon-midnight): £10
Sunday daytime (12 noon-6pm): £5

This is the best way of ensuring tickets if you live too far away to buy from one of the local outlets. If any remain they will be sold on the gate, but you are strongly advised to buy tickets in advance since last year’s event sold out on the Saturday.
For more information, including timetables for the free shuttle bus, please visit the Glastonwick website : www.cask-ale.co.uk/beerfestival.html
A full list of who's playing can be found on the left. Incidentally, there's no point in applying to play at Glastonwick. The booking is done by me, Attila. I travel round the country (and abroad) gigging, and when I meet a band/performer whom I really like, musically and on a human level, I invite them to play! Simple as that.
Cheers everyone!
