Maldon Beer Festival 2024
10-13th April 2024
Maldon's 19th Beer Festival
Our festival is over for another year, all the beer has gone and all the materials are packed away.
The festival was certainly a big hit with our visitors, lots of compliments about the festival itself, the venue, and especially the choice of beers on offer.
No festival can run without the support and help of volunteers. So a massive thank you to all of you who came out to help, whether setting up and taking down, or working behind the bar, or generally helping out.
We hope you had a great time. And we hope we will see you again at our next festival in October at South Woodham Ferrers, whichever side of the bar you are on!
Thanks again for volunteering and visiting.
