Partly because it sounds better than Quite a Nice Beer Festival.

Mostly because we're filling Woolwich Works with independent breweries, great food, live music and enough beer to keep even your IPA-snob friend happy.

Join us for a full day celebrating brilliant independent breweries, great food, live music and excellent company in the heart of Woolwich. Whether you're a seasoned craft beer fanatic, someone who just knows what they like, or simply in it for the street food and vibes, our Big Beer Fest is designed to be a proper day out.

Explore 24 beers on tap from our own festival bar alongside six local guest breweries, each bringing their own favourite pours.

Not a beer drinker? We've got a dedicated wine bar, properly thought through low and no-alcohol options and soft drinks too, because festivals should be fun for everyone.

Between pints, grab something delicious from our hand-picked street food traders, enjoy live music throughout the day, or take your festival experience to the next level with one of our Guided Tasting Masterclasses.

Can't make it for the whole day? Grab a Finisher ticket to join us from 4pm for the best of the evening, including a half pint from our festival bar, live music and entry to our Big Beer Quiz.

Because every great beer festival deserves an equally great finish.

Taste. Learn. Argue passionately about hops.

Take your festival experience up a notch with one of our Beer Masterclasses, led by festival consultant and beer expert Dave. Over the course of an hour, you'll sample four carefully selected beers (Dave’s Faves!) while learning about brewing, ingredients, flavour profiles and the stories behind what you're drinking.

Whether you're already a craft beer obsessive or just curious about why hops have people on the hop, this relaxed and entertaining session is designed to help you discover the craft behind beer.

Limited spaces available. Advance booking recommended.

Whether you've spent the day sampling craft beers or are joining us just for the evening, gather your team and compete for festival prizes while enjoying one final drink before the festival closes.
