Returning for a seventh year, Newquay Beer Festival will be back this September, bigger and better than ever.
With a new site layout at the five-star Hendra Holiday Park, more undercover provision, two music stages, and more than 100 beers and ciders (at least 50 of each), the festival is family and dog friendly.
The musicians who give the event such a buzz all play free of charge to help the organisers, Newquay Towan Blystra Lions Club, raise as much as possible for local charities and good causes. Already, regular Friday night favourites, The Qwest, have confirmed they will be there, and other acts over the weekend will be posted on the festival website, Facebook and Twitter as they are announced.
A three-day entry ticket, bought in advance, costs £15, and there’s the opportunity to stay on-site in one’s caravan, camper or tent from £7.50 per pitch. If a couple wanted to come along and stay for four nights (Thursday to Sunday), the total cost for the pair would be £60 (or £67 with an electric hook up), including full access to the festival.
Sponsorship opportunities
Newquay Beer Festival has raised more than £40,000 for charities and good causes since it started in 2013. More than 100 supporters helped fund the festival in 2018, and there are sponsorship opportunities available for local businesses and individuals to get involved this year. These are all shown on the website and start at £30 for a festival programme advertisement, with the most popular option being the sponsorship of a barrel of beer or cider for £100. All sponsors receive complimentary tickets, and barrel sponsors and above also receive some free drinks as an additional ‘thank you’ for their support.
Festival organiser, Lion Andy Hannan, said: “It’s amazing to think we are now in our seventh year, and it is great to see so many people returning each year. Many have become friends as well as customers.”
All tickets for entry to the festival, which runs from September 20 to 22, including camping can be booked at www.newquaybeerfestival.co.uk and expressing interest in becoming a sponsor can also be done online. Any phone queries can be made on 0845 833 4981.
