What is the best way to get there?

The festival is held at Whitehall Recreation Ground. The address is Southlands Road, Bromley, Kent. BR2 9QY Public transport is recommended as local parking is very limited. You may find it useful to plan your route using Citymapper

Can I bring and use a BBQ?

No. Our licensing and insurance restricts onsite barbeques, so they are not permitted. Anyone using a barbecue will be asked to extinguish it. There will be multiple food vendors on site selling a range of hot food.

Is smoking permitted at the festival?

Smoking and vaping are not permitted in enclosed areas, such as the beer tent.

What beers will be on offer?

We will have a range of 40+ cask-conditioned beers on offer. These are always carefully sourced and selected to provide a good variety to appeal to various tastes. Once finalised a page will be published of the beers, and a programme is provided on the day, including tasting notes.

Why do we have to use your glasses?

The glasses help us to offset the high setup costs for the festival. These can be re-used at home though :)
