Steel City Beer & Cider Festival

We are pleased to announce that subject to all the Coronavirus restrictions being lifted in time as expected, the Steel City Beer & Cider Festival will be taking place this year at Kelham Island Museum from 6 to 9 October.

Planning is still in the early stages but expect the usual large range of real ales and other craft beers along with traditional cider & perry, street food, live music and more.

The festival is organised and staffed entirely by volunteers who do it because they are passionate about celebrating good beer and cider, if you fancy getting involved you can register your interest in volunteering now and we’ll let you know when the staffing form goes live later in the year. Otherwise keep an eye on our website for announcements as things get confirmed!

In the meantime, have a look at the pictures below taken by Dave Pickersgill at our last festival in 2019 to get an idea of what you can look forward to!
