"Our three local counties, Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex will again be the primary focus for sourcing many of the beers, ciders and perrys that will feature at Haslemere’s Beer Festival" explained Simon Labrow one of the organisers".

"We are looking to cater for all tastes so visitors not keen on real ale may prefer the cider, perry, wine or world beers."

Food will be available, and a number of bands on Friday & Saturday night will be provided for your entertainment. For those who prefer a quieter atmosphere to enjoy their ale, we recommend the Saturday lunch time session which will be accompanied by a fantastic local jazz band.

Jay Seldon, our festival cellar man, added "Due to the huge turnout last year, we will be adding an extra stillage - bringing our total number of ales to 42. Also, we hope to bring some cask conditioned lager to the event this year."
