Tibbs Farm

Tibbs Farm Cafe and working family farm set overlooking the picturesque Tillingham Valley in East Sussex near Rye. Owned and run by the Wheeler family.

Summer PYO fruits, hop growers, Romney sheep, laying hens, christmas trees and seasonal attractions. We are a traditional mixed Sussex farm with cafe, extensive PYO soft fruit (including strawberries and 7 varieties of gooseberries), homegrown Christmas trees, sheep and hop growers since 1695. We want to champion what we do as farmers showcasing the food we grow and how we grow it by offering as far as possible a true farm to fork eating experience. Gorgeous views over hop gardens and through the Tillingham Valley to Rye.

The casks are up, tapped and ready to pour. Just one more sleep till Hop Fest 2026 🍻

A few bits of info to bare in mind for tomorrow;

🍺 Walk-ins are welcome but if we do reach capacity we will prioritize ticket holders.
🍻Walk-ins on the day are £15pp, under 5’s go free.
🚍 will do their best to accommodate those who wish to use the free shuttle bus, but we’re expecting it to be very busy and we can’t guarantee there’ll be enough space or journeys for everyone. Alternative transport arrangements particularly at the end of the night is highly advised!

Third year in, we can’t wait; the setting, setup, beer, food and music is going to be awesome 🔥

Ah beer, it wouldn’t be a hop festival without beer and it certainly wouldn’t be a beer festival without hops.

Hop Fest is a celebration of both. Us and our family’s heritage of growing the hops, this being our 336th annual harvest, and the wonderful breweries who use our hops as well as hops from our growers cooperative English Hops Ltd

As you can guess we take our beer extremely seriously at Tibbs and we’re delighted to have 5 breweries collaborating with us for our green hop beers this year being Harvey's Brewery Brewing Brothers Brewery & Taproom Long Man Brewery The Rye Waterworks Micropub & Microbrewery

With 20 beers from 10 breweries showcasing ales, lagers, pales and stouts, we’ve curated a line up of some of our favourites. Whilst mostly near we’ve also ventured into Dorset with an English lager from Utopian Brewing and three beers from one of our absolute favourites Hook Norton Brewery in Oxfordshire.

For the cider drinkers Nightingale Cider Company and Biddenden Vineyards have us covered with four of their best on keg. Grown, pressed and bottled on their family farms.

Wines, Tibbs apple juice and soft drinks completes the lineup.

A drink for all, with a lineup to plough through for some 🍺 (photo from last year)

Thinking of coming to Hop Fest but unsure about the weather? Do not fear!

We’re not leaving anything to chance this year. So we called our friend Joey who designs, makes and builds the most amazing bamboo tent structures you can imagine and asked to borrow his biggest one. Yep, The Temple build Joseph Williams is underway.

This is a monster tent giving us total guarantee that no matter what the weather Hop Fest is going to be epic. And it’s not just a tent, it’s an architecturally stunning structure made entirely from bamboo and unbelievably strong and stretchy canvas. Dressed up and decorated with hops to the hilt it’s going to be spectacular. We can’t wait to show you 🔥

Advance tickets are selling fast, and we only have a limited number left so if you’re planning on coming, we’d recommend booking ahead.
