St Albans Beer & Cider Festival is back for the 28th time at the Alban Arena. As always, our logo celebrates a piece of local history and this time it's the centenary of the Ballito Hosiery Mill, which employed hundreds of local women in the mid-20th century, and had a major impact on the city.
With hundreds of cask ales, craft beers, international brews, ciders, perries and even premium wines and spirits, this is the festival for everyone! As well as bars and seating situated over three floors, we have plenty of outdoor space. With a delicious selection of street food offerings plus an array of fantastic live music acts, games and other entertainment, it all adds up to Hertfordshire's ultimate beer and cider event.
Not only is St Albans Beer & Cider Festival one of the best festivals around, it's also one of the best value. Our super online ticket packages include drinks and a souvenir glass and, better still, we've held last year's prices for 2025! But every day is different at the festival so it pays to take a look at our fantastic entertainment line-up and special events before you plan your visit.
