History

The Bath Beer Festival was first held in 1997 and has since become one of the most anticipated events in the city's calendar. It was initially organized as a small gathering of local beer enthusiasts, but has grown in popularity over the years.

Tickets

Tickets for the Bath Beer Festival can be purchased in advance online or at the door on the day of the event. It is advisable to book tickets in advance, as the festival tends to sell out quickly.
