Dates & opening times:

The opening times for the 13th Chorlton Beer Festival 2017 will be:

  • Thursday 6th July: 6pm – 10.30pm
  • Friday 7th July: 6pm – 10.30pm
  • Saturday 8th July: 1pm – 9.30pm*

After we close each evening, the pubs & bars of Chorlton stay open later, so there is plenty of opportunity to continue sampling beers & ciders in the local area.

* Saturday closing dependent on beer & cider availability

 

Where are we:

The festival is held in the beautiful surrounds of St Clement’s Church.

St Clements is located at the junction of Edge Lane and St Clement’s Road, midway between Wilbraham Road & Chorlton Green.

Payment at all beer & cider bars is by token only. You will receive your first £4 token on entry so you can go straight to the bar. Additional tokens are available from the tent on the left hand side just inside the entrance at £10 a time.

Unused value on part used tokens can be refunded to the nearest full pound but we would encourage all unused value to be donated to St Clement’s – a registered charity.

A range of activities for small children will be provided on the lawn to the front of the church (St Clement’s Road side) organised by Chorlton CofE Primary School PTA.

Please note that children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times. If your children are found to be disturbing the enjoyment of other festival goers, you may be asked to leave.

Well behaved dogs on leads are permitted at the festival. With the exception of guide dogs, dogs are not permitted in either beer hall.

Dogs are not allowed in the children’s activities area on the St Clement’s Road side of the church.

You are responsible for removing your dog’s waste.

If your dog is found to be disturbing the enjoyment of other festival visitors, we reserve the right to ask you to remove your dog from the festival grounds.
