Celebrate your love for real ale at the Southampton Beer Festival. Held at St Mary’s Stadium, this is a great event for beer and football fans. Discover local ale and enjoy the views of the stadium, home of Premier League Southampton with a capacity of 32,000 people.

The beer festival is a great chance for anyone interested in real ale to discover some of the best beer and cider from across the region. From stouts and IPAs to pale ales and sweet cider, there will be plenty for everyone to sample, discover and enjoy. Make sure you look out for the beer and cider winners so you can try the best and see if you agree. With proceeds of the festival going to charity, this is a great way to enjoy great drinks and give to a good cause.

The festival is organised and ran by the Campaign for Real Ale which aims to have good quality real ale, cider and perries in pubs and clubs across the country. This festival along with many others help to celebrate the best real ale and cider and show the importance of supporting local breweries.

There will also be tasty food for you to enjoy and help soak up all that ale. Visit with family, friends, work colleague, partner or come alone and show your support for the Campaign for Real Ale.
