We still have a limited number of volunteer positions available at Lancaster Beer Fest!

As a volunteer at the festival your role will be to pour the beer on the real ale bars and do some stewarding. Don't worry if you haven't worked on a bar or festival before, its really easy, most of our beers are on a 'gravity pour' system which involves simply turning a tap and filling the glass up! We will also complete some bar training before the session starts.

Why volunteer?

- Free festival t-shirt 👕
- Meet like-minded beer enthusiasts 👫
- And most importantly, FREE CASK BEER AND CIDER! 🍺 🍎

The Dukes presents Jason Byrne, performing at The Ashton Hall - Thursday 29th September 2023

We can rebuild him! Jason is, officially Bionic, “ironically” of course, as Jason, the accident-prone, general unfortunate gobsh*te (to no want of his own) is now, half man, half machine.
Born with a c**k eye (then straightened), his lung collapsed (it was blown back up and sealed with metal pins), appendix removed, cartilage replaced in his knee from a poo-on-the-loo accident, arm dislocated by a wave, heart now functioning on six stents.
Don’t miss THE IRONIC BIONIC MAN as he brings us through his one-man, half-machine show. It’s painfully hilarious.
THE ASHTON HALL

The Ashton Hall is located at Lancaster Town Hall with the entrance on George Street (LA1 1PJ).
