The 15th Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival will take place on the second May Bank Holiday weekend at Bracknell Rugby Club. Expect great beer, great cider, great gin, live music, food and more as we celebrate 15 years.
Early Bird tickets are now available until 24th March 2026, when standard tickets will then be available - still cheaper than buying tickets on the day of the event. And don't miss your exclusive Pre-Festival Beer Box, T-Shirt and Bucket Hat - more details on that here.
A family-friendly atmosphere, Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival brings over 90 different beers and ciders, two stages of live music, gin & prosecco tent PLUS an amazing array of food vendors.
Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival is dog-friendly. The Festival loves good dogs and we welcome your four-legged pal, but please make sure they are kept on a lead within the bounds of the rugby pitch.
Who we are
Bracknell Ale & Cider Festival is a volunteer run event that raises £1,000s for Bracknell Rugby Club every year. We are always looking for businesses who'd like to get involved, bands who'd like to play at the festival and more besides. We'd love to hear from you.
As part of our anniversary celebrations, our friends at Siren Craft Brew are offering one Earlybird customer the chance to win 'Beer for a Year'.
We regret that due to the nature of the event, refunds are not available.
