Popular Broughton Beer and Gin Festival returns for seventh year this weekend

The popular Broughton Beer and Gin Festival is returning for its seventh year.

The three-day festival is said to be for all beer, cider gin and music lovers – with over 30 different varieties to try.

This year, the festival has focused on reducing its carbon footprint whilst also aiming to support local businesses.

Over 30 beers have been sourced from within 50 miles of the bar and the club is aiming to source local gins for next year.

There will be something for everyone to try, from ‘funky’ bacon and horseradish gin to ciders which have been carefully selected from some of the best cider producers in the country. There will also be alcohol-free options.

Local bands and singers will provide a soundtrack to the event, including Motown and acoustic performances from Will Procter and Miss Souled.

Broughton Beer and Gin Festival will also host local bands and singers.

The festival is taking place at Broughton and District Club in Broughton this weekend (20 to 22 September) as follows:

Friday – 4pm to 11pm
Saturday – 2pm to 11pm
Sunday – 12pm to 6pm

Entry is £5 which covers the full weekend, a take-home glass and a social membership to the club until 31 December 2024.
