About
The Heart of Kent’s Brewing Legacy
Kent, often referred to as the “Garden of England,” has a long and proud brewing tradition. With its fertile land, rich agricultural heritage, and a culture steeped in artisanal craftsmanship, it’s no surprise that the county has become home to some of the most respected and innovative breweries in the country. The Kent Beer Festival aims to showcase the incredible diversity of Kent’s beer scene while also bringing in the best from the rest of the world.
From the centuries-old traditions of cask ales to the cutting-edge innovations in craft brewing, we are proud to offer a stage for every kind of beer enthusiast to explore. Whether it’s a hoppy IPA, a smooth stout, or a refreshing lager, the Kent Beer Festival offers a broad selection of brews that celebrate both the old and the new.

As well as the huge range of drinks on offer, you can enjoy a selection of food and snacks. Entertainment is also included as part of the ticket price with live music in the afternoons and evenings.
We’ve invited some amazing breweries to join us with Brewery Bars, to serve you their great beers direct. We will also be offering wine, cocktails and coffee for those looking for a little break from all things beer.
