Celtic Beer Festival Returns: Will You Grab Early Bird Tickets Before They Sell Out?

One of Cornwall’s biggest charitable beer festivals is back this November, and this year there’s something brand new for fans to enjoy.

St Austell Brewery has confirmed that the Celtic Beer Festival will return on Saturday 22nd November 2025, with the addition of a special preview night on Friday 21st November.

A Festival with a Cause

For over two decades, thousands have gathered at the brewery for a day filled with great beer, live music and community spirit. All proceeds from ticket sales go directly to the St Austell Brewery Charitable Trust, which supports local charities, good causes and individuals in need across the region.

Last year’s festival raised more than £12,000, with over 1,300 attendees enjoying the mix of beer discovery and entertainment. Thanks to the wider generosity of individuals, communities, pubs and organisations, the Charitable Trust raised over £145,000 in total last year, with every penny going back into local communities.

With the new preview evening, this year’s festival aims to raise even more for the cause.

Over 100 Beers to Sample

The 2025 line-up promises more than a hundred beers from breweries across the South West and beyond. From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, there will be something for every palate. A lively programme of live music will also run throughout the day.

A New Preview Night

This year introduces the festival’s first-ever preview night on Friday 21st November. The evening will offer a relaxed atmosphere for beer enthusiasts to sample exclusive brews, beat the crowds and meet the brewery’s brewing team.

“I made a VoW, a promise to ‘her’, to the River.”
