UK Beer Festivals 2027

Planning a beer festival visit in 2027? I’ve brought together announced events across the UK, from independent craft beer gatherings to traditional beer and cider festivals. Use the filters to find festivals by month, region and alcohol-free beer availability.

I’m particularly interested in which festivals welcome non-alcoholic beer drinkers. Where organisers have confirmed NA beer, I’ll say so. Where they haven’t, I’ll make that equally clear.

Festival information

How I check alcohol-free beer: NA beer confirmed means the organiser explicitly advertises non-alcoholic beer for 2027. No/low options advertised means alcohol-free drinks or a no/low selection are mentioned, but the specific beer offering has not been established. NA beer not yet confirmed simply means I haven’t found a 2027 announcement; it doesn’t mean NA beer won’t be available.

Dates and tickets: A few events have provisional dates, clearly labelled above. Festival details, drinks and ticket arrangements can change, so please check the linked organiser before booking. This directory was researched on 11 October 2026 and is not an exhaustive list. Welsh and Northern Irish festivals will be added when suitable 2027 announcements can be verified.

About ABV: Some beers described as alcohol-free or low-alcohol may contain a small amount of alcohol, including 0.5% ABV. Check individual drinks if this matters to you.

A few useful questions

Will every beer festival listed serve alcohol-free beer?

No. Only festivals explicitly advertising NA beer for their 2027 event are marked as confirmed. Other organisers may announce their drinks lists closer to the date.

What’s the difference between confirmed and no/low advertised?

Confirmed means an organiser has specifically mentioned non-alcoholic beer. No/low advertised means alcohol-free or low-alcohol choices are mentioned without a confirmed beer selection.

Can I suggest a UK beer festival for 2027?

Absolutely. If you’ve spotted an event I’ve missed, especially one featuring alcohol-free beer, send me its official website so I can check the details.

Have I missed a festival?

Know of a UK beer festival happening in 2027, or one that has confirmed an alcohol-free beer range? Let me know and I’ll check it for the directory.
