Inside Cornwall’s Biggest Beer Celebration: Celtic Beer Festival Returns This November

Cornwall’s famous Celtic Beer Festival is making its return to St Austell Brewery later this month, promising a weekend packed with music, exclusive brews and community spirit.

A Weekend of Beer, Music and Charity

Taking place on Saturday 22nd November, the festival will once again see the brewery’s historic cellars transformed into a lively celebration of beer, music and good causes.
All profits from ticket sales will go to St Austell Brewery’s Charitable Trust, which supports local causes, charities and individuals across the South West.

Since its creation in 2003, the trust has raised over £1 million, with last year’s festival alone adding £12,000 to the total. With a new addition this year, the brewery hopes to raise even more for 2025.

New Friday Preview Night

For the first time, there’s a special preview night on Friday 21st November. The relaxed evening will feature live music from Josh Curnow, exclusive brewery access and talks with brewers.

Beer writer and author Jonny Garrett, from the Craft Beer Channel, will also host a special talk alongside the brewery’s team. Festivalgoers will get a behind-the-scenes look at some of the unique beers brewed exclusively for the event, including experimental creations like low-carb stouts and smoked pineapple ale.

An Epic Line-Up

The Saturday event will feature a packed music schedule, with performances from the Hip Hop House Band, Blonk 182, The Strutts, and the brewery’s own choir, Hoppy Notes.

Over 100 beers from across the South West and beyond will be available, offering something for every taste – from bold new flavours to timeless favourites.

Tickets are on sale now, and while some may be available on the door, advance booking is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
