Our first Beer Festival

Drinkers can raise their very own Herne Bay glass at the town's first beer festival.

The event will take place at the Kings Hall next month, with 20 real ales and five ciders available to try.

There will also be ten live bands playing, from the books of Herne Bay Music, and the venue's bar will be open and serving a special Kings Hall cocktail as well as more traditional options.

Organiser Rose O'Brien said:

"We are trying to broaden the events on offer at the Kings Hall, and as we haven't had a beer festival so far we thought we should try one. If it is successful we are going to do it twice a year, and although we are starting small we will build it each time. It should be a really fun day, and we are hoping for good weather so people can spill out onto the seafront."

Kings Hall glasses will be on sale for £2 at the door, and can be kept as a souvenir or returned for a refund, and all beer and cider costs £3.50 a pint. Rose added:

"We want to build our network of local breweries, so if anyone wants to get in touch for next time that would be great. We're really excited about it and I hope the town will give it their support."

Suppliers already confirmed include Goody Ales from Herne, Nelsons in Chatham, Biddenden cider, Whitstable Brewery and Broomfield Orchard cider, and all the ale and cider will be from independent Kent breweries.

Local bands will also be playing, including Spex, The Merchants, Wireless, Sawsound and The Doctorates.

  • Saturday, June 22 will cost £4.50, open from noon to 11pm.
  • Sunday, June 23 will cost £3.50, open from noon to 9pm.
  • Tickets can be bought in advance or on the door.
