Bucklebury Beer Festival returns on August bank holiday

The 12th annual Bucklebury Beer Fest will take place this August bank holiday and will feature beers from five different local breweries to sample and enjoy.

Located on the recreation ground in the village, the free festival is happening on Saturday, August 27, between noon and 7pm.

The event will raise funds to maintain the village hall, the Victory Room, as well as to support the Reading and West Berkshire branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association and the Reading branch of Berkshire Woman’s Aid.

The beers on offer will be supplied by Yattendon-based West Berkshire Brewery, Chaddleworth’s Indigenous Brewery, Ramsbury Brewery in the Wiltshire countryside, Bond Brews from Wokingham and cider from Tutts Clump in Bradfield.

There will also be live music throughout the day in the main marquee tent, as well as a dog show with multiple categories including ‘cutest puppy’ and ‘most handsome fella’.

Food will be supplied by farmer’s market stalls and a barbecue, and there will be vegetarian and vegan options available.
