Returning for its 16th year, the Bransgore Festival on the last weekend in September continues to celebrate the very best of local and national ales and ciders, paired with an exciting music line-up, to satisfy every taste.
Started by a few enthusiastic beer-loving Rotarians, the event has grown into a hugely popular annual event incorporating an extensive collection of 75 guest ales and 22 different ciders. Popular local bands perform on two marquee stages, celebrating “The Best of Bransgore” to help generate financial benefit to many charities, including Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance, Christchurch Foodbank, Bransgore Primary School – to name but a few.
From its early beginnings, regular Festival attendees have collected the Bransgore Pint and Half-Pint Glasses as mementoes of a memorable weekend. Eager collectors are awaiting the release of the 2026 chosen style.
With only weeks before gates open on Friday 28th September 6pm, the event is prepped to Go. Regular festival goers are reminded to book their tickets early as the Bransgore Festival’s popularity has necessitated controlled admission with ticket holders gaining priority.
Bransgore Beer Festival 2026 is Friday September 28th – Sunday September 30th.
