For the first time ever, visitors to St Austell Brewery’s Celtic Beer Festival will be able to enjoy a preview night, offering a behind-the-scenes experience.

Celtic Beer Festival 2024 pour

For more than two decades, thousands of people from across Cornwall and beyond have gathered at the brewery for a day of great beer, live music, and community spirit, all in aid of charity.

The 2025 festival will feature more than 100 beers from breweries across the South West and further afield. From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, there’ll be something for every palate, as well as a lively line-up of musical performances.

All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the St Austell Brewery Charitable Trust, which supports local charities, good causes, and individuals in need. Last year’s festival raised over £12,000, with more than 1,300 attendees enjoying a day of beer discovery and entertainment.

New for 2025, the preview night, on Friday, 21st November, will offer a relaxed evening for beer enthusiasts to beat the crowds, sample exclusive brews, and meet the brewery’s talented brewing team.

Early bird Saturday tickets – the lowest priced and limited in number – go on sale at 11am today. All remaining tickets, including for Friday’s preview night, will be available from 11am on Friday, 19th September. A limited number of tickets may be available on the door, but advance booking is strongly recommended.
