Eyam brewery’s second open day of this year is in the diary for Saturday 26 July, from 1pm to 7:30pm. This sees a bar open in the brewery serving a range of their beer on both cask and keg with bottles also available to buy to take home. Sunshine Pizza is also due to be in attendance if you want something to eat there and if the weather is good you can sit outside and take in the beautiful Peak District scenery (if not they’ll have seating inside the brewery!).

The brewery is in South Kirkby, walkable from Moorthorpe railway station (Sheffield to Leeds/York via Rotherham train).
