Our Festivals
The Pavilion, Alconbury Weald 13-14 April 2024
Open 11:30 - 22:00 both days
We are really excited to share with you details of our first beer festival taking place at The Pavilion Alconbury Weald in partnership with Urban&Civic.
The Pavilion, Alconbury Weald, Huntingdon PE28 4XB
We want the festival to showcase local small producers so we have carefully selected a range of beers, ciders and gins from a range of small businesses based in East Anglia.
We are on the lookout for volunteers to help run the festival. Please get in contact with us (info@wheatsheafbrewery.co.uk) if you are interested in lending a hand, even if for just a few hours.
