Haddenham Beer Festival returns from 26 to 28 June, bringing a bigger and better weekend of drinks, food, music and community spirit for festivalgoers of all ages.
Shaped by public feedback, this year’s festival will feature a range of new additions alongside the much loved atmosphere that has helped make it one of the village’s best loved annual events.
Visitors can look forward to more choice, more fun and more festival in 2026, including a bigger drinks offering, a broader food line up, more for children and teenagers, a skate park takeover, live music all weekend and a few more surprises.
Alongside the usual selection of beer, cider, gin, prosecco and Pimms, this year’s event will also introduce a keg bar, lagers, wine, long vodka drinks and cocktails.
The food offering is being expanded too, with a wider range of vendors aimed at reducing queues and offering more choice, including more gluten free and vegetarian options.
Younger visitors are set to benefit from more affordable children’s activities and a range of free attractions, including an art competition, treasure hunt, graffiti workshop and the popular Connections Bus, packed with board games, games consoles, crafts and more.
New for 2026 is a skate park takeover across the weekend, complete with a coach on hand to help festivalgoers learn new tricks or show off existing ones. Scooters and skateboards will both be welcome.
Live music will once again be a major part of the weekend, with a strong line up of bands, acts and musicians booked across the festival.
Pete Hawkins, on behalf of the Haddenham Beer Festival committee, said:
“Haddenham Beer Festival has always been about bringing people together for a fantastic weekend while raising money for local good causes. This year we’ve listened carefully to feedback and are building on everything people already love about the event. There will be more choice, more for families, more entertainment and the same brilliant community spirit that makes the festival so special.”
The festival has now raised more than £100,000 for local good causes, with more than £10,000 typically raised each year. Organisers say that success would not have been possible without the support of sponsors, volunteers and the wider local community.
This year’s key sponsors are David Clarke, Team Sprayers, Haddenham Lawn Care, Sid Bibby, CD Hood, Oakes & Watson and Masters. Businesses interested in sponsoring the event are encouraged to email Shelley at info@haddenham.beer.
Local charities and good causes hoping to receive a donation from Haddenham Beer Festival this year are invited to email Nick at info@haddenham.beer by 28 June 2026. Early applications are encouraged.
The committee is also calling for more volunteers to help make the weekend possible. Volunteers are needed behind the bar, on the BBQ, and to help with setup on Thursday 25 June and take-down on Monday 29 June. Anyone interested in getting involved is encouraged to email Suzie at info@haddenham.beer
Stall bookings are also now open for local businesses, charities and community groups wanting to showcase what they do to thousands of people across the weekend. Pitches cost £15 per day, with free pitches available for local charities and good causes. Anyone interested in booking a stall should email Alison at info@haddenham.beer
Further announcements about Haddenham Beer Festival 2026 will be made over the coming weeks.
