The Beltown Beer Festival
Up to 50,000 people will be joining us to celebrate the town’s annual beer festival with hundreds of beers
specially imported from as far as Asia and Europe. And this year sees the addition of a wine tent adding
to the range of tastes available. There will also be local craft stalls and delicious international as well as
homegrown food. Like last year the main stage will host performances and music from local performing
artists with nonstop entertainment from 4.30pm to 11.00pm each night.
What our visitors said last year: ‘It’s an incredible two days with loads to do for the whole family. And all
with such friendly people and good beer!’
County Summer Party
Chill out at the ultimate summer event and celebrate the best your county has to offer. First of all, food
lovers can join us by the sea to try delicious local seafood and exotic dishes from around the world. And
bring the children. They’ll love the entertainments on the sand with circus acts and music while you
sample the very best in the county’s red and white wines. Events begin at the main beach of Sandford
Straits at midday on Saturday 21st July and end with a firework display on Sunday evening at 8pm.
Tickets can be purchased for the day or a ‘Party Pass’ will allow you access to all events over the
weekend. For a full list of events each day contact the box office.
What our visitors say: ‘A great day for the county. It was wonderful to see the different communities
coming together to make this a really special event!’
