St Austell Brewery has announced the date on which its huge beer festival will return for 2024.
Last year, thousands of revellers from across the South West descended on St Austell Brewery for its popular Celtic Beer Festival.
The festival, which is all in aid of charity, features beers from breweries across the South West and beyond, and the day sees many live performers take to the stage.
A huge £20,000 was raised for charity through the event in 2023, well up on 2019’s festival total of £13,500. All profits from ticket sales go towards the St Austell Brewery Charitable Trust, which supports local charities and important causes across the South West.
Georgina Young, St Austell Brewery’s Brewing Director, said: “I was blown away by the support and atmosphere for our much-loved festival, which we hadn’t been able to run for a few years before due to Covid. It was clear people were so happy to have it back, and plenty of fantastic beer was enjoyed alongside some fantastic live music.
“It was a delight to take the helm of the festival and work with fellow brewers to create a diverse lineup of beers across our four bars, from stouts, sours and weissbiers, to super-hoppy double IPAs. I can’t wait to unveil the beers coming up for this year’s event.”
The day long festival will go ahead on Saturday 30th November, with tickets on sale soon.
