These can also be used as part-payment against products on the craft foreign beer and Great British wine bars.

Sponsor Us!
The festival has a long history of working with its suppliers and local businesses to really get your message out there.
We have a number of ways your business can advertise with the festival from simple adverts in the programme to premium banner space while the festival is open!
GLORIOUS FOOD
Our range of street food vendors will have the perfect nibble to complement your dark stout or ruby ale!
From vegan jerky to olives to pizza, curry and bratwurst, we have a food vendor you’ll love.
Where to Find Us
The festival is spending its fourth year at Christchurch Meadows in Caversham, Reading
Being just outside the centre of town means it’s really easy to get to the festival on foot from Reading Station or by local bus! Reading Buses have services that run into and throughout the night to ensure you can to and from the festival with ease.
Volunteer at the Festival
The festival is built and run by our dedicated volunteers from the ground up!
There’s many benefits that our volunteers enjoy, as long as you’re volunteering for two shifts or more, as well as free entry to as many sessions as you’d like while the festival is open, you’ll also be able to drink for free (within reason) whilst you’re working and will get vouchers towards the cost of food at the site. If the role you’re doing means you can’t drink ‘on duty’, you’ll get drink tokens to use later!
