Welcome to Southampton Beer Festival 2020
The 2020 CAMRA Southampton Beer Festival is on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th June at St Mary’s Stadium.
This year the festival will showcase up to 75 cask ales, featuring a range of high quality traditional ales, new and exciting craft ales, Brewery collaborations, and one-off specials. This vast range of beers will also be matched by a range of international bottled beers, real ciders and perry, a key keg bar and new to the festival last year, a selection of popular gins – something to inspire and appeal to all tastes.
This year's festival will consist of three sessions, and we've kept our ticket prices the same as 2019!:
- Friday 19th June 11:30 — 16:00 (quiet session) — £ 6
- Friday 19th June 18:30 — 23:00 (live music) — £ 10
- Saturday 20th June 11:30 — 19:30 (single all-day session; pub-style quiz & live music) — £ 10
Tickets are NOT YET available to purchase - see our Tickets page for more details, including where you can buy tickets from. They'll be available online, from local pubs, and throught the post. in April.
The layout of the festival has also been developed, incorporating the furnished and contemporary-decorated Gasworks suite as a second festival room and its outside ‘beer garden’ to allow the enjoyment of your drink while catching the summer sun (click here for more details about the Gasworks). As we did last year we've moved our volunteer area out of the Gasworks suite to make it fully available for customers. Inside the Kingsland stand, there will again be plenty of seating in the spacious layout.
Based on customers' feedback we introduced a new food menu in 2019, which was well received. We plan to maintain this better selection of food this year – Food page for more details), including pulled pork in a bap, Thai curry and a gourmet burger.
