July 2026
The Bell & Bear Summer Festival is a weekend of live music, great beer, local food and village spirit - all centred around our pub and community.
From the 10th to the 12th July 2026, this year's festival will be our biggest yet.
Watch out for our band line up for the weekend and our extensive array of ciders and beers.
Full artist line-up to be announced soon. Times subject to change.
Across the weekend, we'll be pouring an extensive range of real ales, beers and ciders from a carefully chosen mix of local favourites and standout national producers.
Expect 16 guest ales on rotation throughout the festival.
We're currently finalising the line-up and are always open to suggestions. If there's a brewery or beer you'd love to see on the bar, let us know.
We'll also be opening up selected casks for sponsorship. If you're interested in sponsoring a barrel - whether as a business, group, or individual - you can find out more here.
Not a beer drinker? No problem. Alongside the ales, we'll be serving lagers, ciders, wines, spirits, soft drinks, and a full range of alcohol-free options throughout the weekend.
This year's Bell & Bear Summer Festival brings together four of your favourite food traders - all familiar faces you'll already know from the pub. From sizzling street food to comforting classics, expect bold flavours from the traders you've grown to love!
Whether you're craving favourites from The Village Kitchen, stacked burgers and hot dogs from Sizzlers, rich curries from RaSoi 6, or wood-fired pizza from The Little Oven of Joy, you'll find something worth queuing for. Come hungry - you're in very good hands.
This year at the Bell & Bear Summer Festival, we're opening up our barrels for sponsorship.
