Festival guide

Below is a guide to beer festivals in or near Sheffield that we are aware of over the coming months. While we believe the information is correct, we advise checking with the venue/organisers before making any special journeys.

CAMRA festival listings can also be found on the national CAMRA events page and commercial festivals on aletalk.

Chesterfield pub walkabout

Fri 4 – Sat 5 Feb

The usual Chesterfield CAMRA beer festival at the Winding Wheel theatre is cancelled this year due to the impact of Covid on planning timescales so instead there is a promotion of beer and entertainment at pubs across three areas of Chesterfield – Whittington Moor, Chesterfield town centre and the Brampton Mile. Almost all the buses from Sheffield to Chesterfield (43/44, 50/50a and X17) stop at Whittington Moor whilst the Brampton pubs are walkable from the town centre (or various buses run along the Chatsworth Road). More information on their Facebook page.
