Beer Fest on the Green 2026

Get ready for a highlight of the Southampton social calendar! Beer Fest on the Green returns to the Sarisbury Green Community Centre for 2026, promising a weekend filled with the finest local beverages, fantastic atmosphere, and community spirit. This long-standing event, held in aid of the Sarisbury Green Community Centre (Registered Charity Number 301938), brings together beer enthusiasts and families alike to celebrate the best of British brewing.

Attendees can expect a curated selection of over 30 real ales and craft beers, alongside a dedicated cider bar featuring local Hants favorites. Whether you are a seasoned connoisseur of dark stouts or prefer a refreshing, crisp IPA, there is something to suit every palate. For those who prefer alternatives, the festival also offers a selection of quality wines and soft drinks.

The Friday evening session offers a more traditional "beer festival" vibe, strictly for those aged 18 and over, featuring live music that pairs perfectly with a pint of local ale. Saturday opens up earlier in the afternoon, welcoming a broader audience before transitioning to an 18+ only event in the evening. Each ticket usually includes a commemorative festival glass, a detailed programme with tasting notes, and drink tokens to get your experience started immediately.

Beyond the drinks, the festival is known for its high-energy live music lineup, featuring local bands that keep the crowd dancing on the green. Food stalls will be on-site serving up hearty festival fare, from traditional hot snacks to options suitable for various dietary needs. This is more than just a drinking event; it’s a vital fundraiser that helps maintain the community hub of Sarisbury Green. Come for the beer, stay for the music, and support a great local cause!
