Welcome

CLAVERHAM BEER FESTIVAL

The Claverham Beer Festival is an annual Yeo Valley Lions event with help from the local community. It is designed not just to provide visitors with a good night out, but also to raise funds for local charities.  To date wellover 350 different beers and ciders have made an appearance at the Beer Festival, with £57,500 raised for charities as diverse as Great Western Air Ambulance and Riding for the Disabled.

Each year, the Festival starts on Friday night at 7.30 and tickets are available for that. The Saturday eveing session (7.30) is also by ticket, and on occasions both these sessions are sold out in advance, so prior purchase is recommended. The Saturday and Sunday afternoon sessions are free to patrons (ie people who buy our beer tokens) and start at 12.30. The Festival closes on Sunday around 5pm.

We are very grateful to our sponors who cover much of the cost of the Claverham Beer Festival. If you would like to chat to us about sponsorship opportunities, please do call Nigel for a no-obligation chat.

We are hoping to get hold of Lifeboat Ale from the Titanic Brewery in Stoke on Trent, Eddystone from the South Hams Brewery, and the 5.1ABV Harbour Special from Tintagel. As ever at this time of year, we have a long list and are having fun finding out which we can get hold of, but what ever the outcome you can be sure of a good range and a friendly Festival.
 
Music will be provided by the Lipinski Band on Friday evening and Against the Grain on Saturday evening. We will have Steve and the Old Grey Foxes on Sunday afternoon and all our sessions will have local musicians in support. We are delighted to host the World Spoof Championships again for the 4th year running - testament to the excellent management of our resident Spoof Umpires. The BBQ will be running at all sessions and we would just like to say that our special Festival Burgers will definitely be absolutely horse friendly.

 Bell and Stenton Opticians Yatton, and Stowell Concrete have continued to be our major sponsors and we are very grateful to them and all our barrel sponsors for their generous support. 

This site provides you with information on what can be expected at this year's Beer Festival, opening times, what's on and how to buy tickets and last but not least how to find us.  You can also find information on where the money raised from last year's festival has been donated.
