Every year in Wilburton we meet on Wilburton Recreation Ground to celebrate our community, coming together with our entire families, old and young, to raise funds for local charities and deserving causes, from Cancer Research to the local Beavers group.
Wilburton Beer Festival is the longest running festival of its kind in the Fen area, taking place within the beautiful natural setting of our oak tree encircled village green, overlooked by an Elizabethan Manor, on the weekend closest to the summer solstice. The committee has been working hard over the last few years to make sure that we enjoy the outdoor setting whilst being as green as we can be. Recycling and reusing wherever possible, and stopping single use plastics.
Following the success of last year, the programme will be running on Friday 23rd and Saturday the 24th of June.
We will be celebrating our shared way of life with a selection of beers and ciders from the local region, and hope you will join us again this year. The Wilburton beer festival committee has been hard at work sampling, with over 60 beers and ciders now planned for inclusion! You can expect to find all your old favourites, but also to discover some new ones.
Wilburton Beer Festival has always been an event for the whole family. Wrist bands for the kids give them unlimited play time on a range of outdoor activities. We are planning for the usual bouncy entertainment on both days – with children able to come and join the fun straight from school on the opening Friday.
The very best of local produce will be on offer, with a range of great food provided by local businesses. This year we will have Al Chile Mexican Street Food, Zapiekanki – Polish Street Food, Pizza Passione, Caipira Brazilian, Scotties Scotch Eggs, Hill Farm Ice Cream and the ever-loved Scout group BBQ and Chile! As always, the music will come from bands living in the local region.
Headline bands are already booked with The Casuals headlining on Friday night and Blue Thunder, Sabertooth Timmy and Max Headroom filling the dancefloor on Saturday.
It’s going to be another party to remember, with all profits going to great causes. We hope to see you there!
