The last line of this is really important from our great friends Bracknell RFC: “Please don't be strangers - We play rugby here! We have a welcoming environment, a club house, 2 bars, a Hall and lots of outdoor seating and space. Please visit us again over the summer - We are open!”

Thank You to Everyone

A brilliant event this one, don’t miss earlybird tickets.

27/05/2024

We always try to mention when possible the ‘winning beer’ at the Festival. IE the beer that sells out the fastest.

This year Finest Hour from Rebellion Beer Co. Ltd. beat Kent Brewery Orange Crush by the narrowest of margins!

What was your favourite beer or cider?

27/05/2024

The flags are down to mark the end of another tremendous Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival.

We could not do this event without the incredible volunteers who support it, and graft over the weekend across Bracknell RFC and our own team.

We can’t do it without all of you incredible people who mark the event in your diary every year and come along, some faces we’ve seen at all 13.

The event crucially raises £thousands for Bracknell RFC to continue their work giving opportunity to hundreds of men, women and children every week.

So thank you everyone, we’ll keep improving and getting better. See you next year!

The Beer Festival team.
