Devizes CAMRA
Beer Festival
The 23rd Devizes Beer & Cider Festival will be held on
Saturday 13th July 2024
11.30am until 10pm at Devizes Wharf.
We will have around 100 real ales and ciders.
The beer festival takes over Devizes wharf, with a marquee on the car park for the beer and cider, and plenty of outdoor space. Please note that the marquee is not big enough for everyone to sit inside, and we may limit what is allowed inside the marquee for safety.
During the day there will be live music on our stage.
Food will be available from the Devizes Rotary Club food court. Please support them as the money they make goes to good causes. However you are welcome to bring your own food onto the site.
If you have any questions please use the chat button below, or ask on the festival Facebook page.
Tickets
Festival Entry
We restrict access to adult ticket holders only. We will also allow access to the site for non drinking adults, such as Designated Drivers or Care Support, who are necessarily attending with a ticket holder.
Children, under 18 years old, are welcome onto the site and do not require a ticket, they must at all times be accompanied by a ticket holder.
No alcoholic drink may be brought onto the site. There will be a bag check at each of the entry points to the site.
Anyone drinking alcoholic drinks without without a festival wrist band will be drinking alcohol in a licensed area without permission, and will be asked to leave.
For many years people have attended the festival without buying a ticket, and for many years we have turned a blind eye to this. Some of those people have come with friends with tickets, some as a group with no tickets and a slab of cans, unfortunately this had to change as the numbers started to impact on the safety of the festival.
Please do not attend without a ticket as it will threatening the future of the festival. This could mean forcing us to move to a new venue, or possibly cancel the festival altogether. All of us in Devizes CAMRA consider the home Devizes Beer Festival to be the Wharf. However the festival has to be safe.
