About

The Hook Norton Festival of Fine Ales or Hooky Beer Fest is back for 2026.

The charity beer festival features over 100 beers and ciders from across the UK, live music, and food, with proceeds supporting Blood Cancer UK and local community projects.

This year the festival is located around the back of the Brewery in the same field as Music at the Crossroads. Parking and camping will still be in the Rural Fayre field on the northern outskirts of the village with a short off road walk to the festival site.

All the money, less costs, raised in this event goes to charity.

Main ticket types include:-

  • the full entry pack (polycarbonate glass, two ½ pint beer tickets, beer list);
  • entry only – you will be able to use the wine bar and purchase drinks from other vendors that are not available in the beer tent.
  • Junior entry – free entry for under 18 year olds.
  • festival glass

Food will be available on site including:-

  • Hog Roast 
  • Gourmet burgers, sausages and chips (plus a veggie option)
  • Fish and Chips
  • JP’s Pizzas
