Keswick Beer Festival, will be back next weekend, celebrating over two full days to mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Keswick Beer Festival is run as a collaboration between Keswick Rugby Club and Keswick Lions and each organisation with over 250 volunteers who give up their time over the weekend to help ensure all guests have an amazing time and the event runs smoothly.
The festival will have 6 amazing bands playing over the weekend.

"All preparations are well underway to welcome thousands of guests to this year’s festival which has fallen on the Platinum Jubilee weekend and is set to be the biggest and best beer festival we have ever held.
"We are very much looking forward to seeing old friends, and making new friends at the ‘Party on the Pitch’ at the glorious Davidson Park ground and if you haven’t been before, why don’t you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed."
The committee wished to thank their main sponsors and this year we would like to thank David Britton Estates, Pioneer, Kong Adventure and Keswick Brewery & Fox Tap for their very much needed and appreciated support- aswell as barrell sponsors.
