Bedford Beer & Cider Festival

Headline Sponsor - Brewpoint

Thanks to Brewpoint for their generous sponsorship of a number of areas of the festival including this website.
Spend time getting lost in the science of the perfect brew. A member of the Brew Crew will take you on a journey of discovery from hop to the ultimate pint. You'll get to sample various Brewpoint products along the way from their brewing portfolio of core beers including their seasonal range. There is a limit of 14 people per tour so make sure you book in advance

Bedford Radio

The Bedford Beer and Cider Festival are thrilled to again have the support of our local radio station. We would encourage you all to tune in and listen to the wide variety of shows they produce.

Bedford Radio is the local radio station for Bedford. You can hear them on DAB across Bedford and Kempston and online.

As a station, they come from the local community and support the local community: they are run entirely by volunteers, and anyone in Bedford can get on-air.

Thank You To Our Sponsors & Supporters

We have been very fortunate to be supported by a number of businesses.

Without them, the festival would not be going ahead.
