Tickets for 2025 are now live 
Frequently asked questions
I am new to BEEREX. What can I expect?
It's a great occasion to attend with family, friends and colleagues as long as your aged 18 or over.
You'll find a great range of about 100 different beers, about 30 ciders, a craft bar featuring keg beers, a range of cans, no and lo alcohol, gluten free and vegan friendly options and new for 2026 a range of foreign beers.
A great range of food will be available for purchase from the Maltings catering team. See Food page.
Live music will be played at each session except Friday lunchtime.
After entering you will be provided with a complimentary polycarbonate glass and you will be able to download a digital flip book programme (there will be a limited supply of hard copies) which will detail all of the beers and ciders available and which are purchased using tokens. Pints halves and thirds are available.
The Tokens can be purchased by cash or card.
If you like the buzz of a busy festival then Friday evening or one the Saturday sessions would suit you best but don't delay as they are the most popular sessions and first to sell out.
We lower the capacity on Thursday evening and Friday afternoon to afford a more leisurely pace. Seating and quieter spaces are available at all sessions upstairs away from the bars: where jugs are available to avoid too many trips to the bar.
The Friday afternoon is band free and offers seating in the Main Hall and Courtyard (weather permitting) as well as some special beers and tasting opportunities
