Peterborough Beer Festival Needs You! 😄🍺🍷

There are many jobs that need doing - it's not all about pulling pints.

Whilst we rely on many volunteers over the course of the festival, mostly we need them for our busiest days of Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So if you are only available for a one or two days, please consider those ones.

We also require volunteers before the festival opens to do tasks such as erect the fencing, the stillages and the bars, through to less strenuous jobs such as setting out chairs and putting up posters; there’s so many “little things” without which the festival wouldn’t be what it is.

And once the last glass has been cleaned, there’s still so much to do to clean everything down and pack it away for next year, and that’s the week when we need all the volunteers we can get!

Dates:
Set-Up: 17th - 24th August
Festival: 25th - 29th August
Take Down: 30th August - 2nd September

An absolute titan of the British brewing world has passed away. Humphrey Smith, the famously traditionalist and eccentric owner of Yorkshire’s Samuel Smith's Brewery, has died. Love him or hate him for his strict rules—banning smartphones, tablets, music, and even swearing—he ran his pubs entirely his own way to preserve the classic, tech-free British Pubs experience. Whether you cherished the peace or found the rules baffling, there is no denying his massive impact on our pub heritage.

​What are your thoughts on his legendary "no-nonsense" approach? Let's raise a glass to an unforgettable character.
