Tickets on sale for Salisbury Summerfest beer and cider festival

The new festival will replace the longstanding Salisbury Beerex festival which used to take place at the Salisbury Arts Centre.

The event will be held over two days from 6pm to 11pm on Friday, June 21 and 11am to 8pm on Saturday, June 22.

It is being organised by the Salisbury and South Wiltshire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).

Tickets cost £10 per session and will include a free glass. 

Salisbury’s beer festivals are frequently a sell-out so those wishing to attend are advised to book their tickets early. Tickets can be purchased here.

The decision to hold Summerfest at the Guildhall follows the recent success of CAMRA’s Winterfest beer and cider festival at the same venue. Some 30 cask ales and four ciders, some from local breweries and cidermakers and others from further afield, will be available.

This wide selection will include traditional style, craft, vegan and gluten-free beers. The festival programme will list each beer in brewery order together with its strength, tasting notes, and, where possible, a link to the brewery website.

The organisers will not be serving food or soft drinks but festivalgoers will be able to bring these in from outside to consume on the premises.
