all you need to know for the real ale & cider festival
JULY 26-28 2024, Weston Beach Lawns
We are aiming to be as CASHLESS as possible, so we will be taking card payments for entry tickets and token purchases.
Tokens will be the only kind of tender taken at the bar in exchange for drinks and can be easily purchased throughout the festival.
The Lions are thinking green too and are limiting the use of one-use plastics during the festival as much as possible.
Here’s the important bits;

Beers, Ciders & Beverages
We have a fabulous selection of beers and ales (traditional and crafty), ciders – with some that are refreshingly fruity – so there is bound to be a tipple of two (or three or four!) that tantalises your taste buds over the weekend. We have aimed to keep the beverages as local and homegrown as possible to support the incredible art that is brewing and to recognise the efforts and imagination that the brewers put in to their lovingly made liquids.
Not a fan of those pints? Well, there will be a choice of wines available from the bar along with a range of gins.
Food &
Drink
There will be soft drinks and juices available at the bar. Food available to fuel your session will have you choosing from a mouth watering selection of options like; Yorkshire pudding wraps, pizza, burgers, chips as well as those with a sweet tooth having the choice of crepes, ice cream and smoothies!
Man’s Best Friend
Dogs are welcome to the festival but only in the outside area and must be on a lead. If the dogs behavior is deemed unacceptable by festival staff you will be asked to leave the site. Of course is goes without saying that dog poo needs to be picked up and disposed off.
We want you and all those attending to enjoy the day and to make sure your furry friend is also comfortable and not distressed with the noises and crowds. We ask that you be considerate towards your pooch pals needs and asses the environment as necessary to ensure they are not stressed.
