Beer & Cider Festival returns after an outstanding first year

After the resounding success of its debut, Yeovil Beer & Cider Festival is back for its second year, and it’s shaping up to be another fantastic weekend! Taking place on 25th and 26th April 2025 at Westlands Entertainment Venue, the festival promises to be an unmissable celebration of fantastic drinks, live music, and community spirit.

Regular patrons will know that Westlands isn’t new to hosting festivals, we’ve held everything from the Somerset Gin Festival to Yeovil Literary Festival in years gone by. But last year, the Beer & Cider Fest made its mark as one of the standout events of 2024, and we’re back and raring to go again!

Sip Back and Savour

If you’re a fan of locally brewed drinks, this is your time to shine (or sip!). The festival will showcase an impressive array of beers, ales, and ciders sourced from breweries both local and regional. Whether you’re a craft beer connoisseur or someone who simply enjoys a refreshing pint, there’s something for everyone. Expect everything from hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to refreshing, flavourful ciders.

And let’s not forget the food… You’ll need something to soak up all your ‘tasting’ so you’ll be pleased to hear we’ve got you covered in that department too!

Live Music

What’s a great drink without some great music? Talented local bands and musicians will take to the stage, providing the perfect backdrop to sip and socialise.

The full line-up of performers will be announced soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

A Festival with Heart

Yeovil Beer & Cider Festival isn’t just about the drinks, it’s also about giving back. Once again, the event will raise funds for local charities and good causes, making it a weekend to enjoy yourself while making a positive difference in the community.
