Beer & Cider Festival: 18th-20th September 2026
We’re putting the finishing touches to our beer and cider selection this week, and we’ll be updating the festival details here over the next few days.
Expect well over 100 beers and ciders, with an incredible variety of styles, breweries and flavours to discover - from crisp pale ales and refreshing session beers to classic bitters, rich stouts and plenty in between.
We’re especially excited to welcome beers from some brilliant breweries, including Arbor, Black Iris, Hawkshead, North Riding, Tiny Rebel, Siren, Moor, Five Points, Kirkstall, Thornbridge, Deya and many more. There’ll be plenty of familiar favourites, alongside some new discoveries to tempt you into trying something different.
And, for those joining us early, we’ll also be making the most of the festival mornings by offering breakfast at The Paper Mill Inn from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Food orders for the afternoon start at 12 noon at the Old Hall and from 1pm at The Paper Mill Inn. We’ll also have the return of the amazing sweet van! Maggie’s Sweets will be available from 8 p.m. on Friday, then all day Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon, offering pick ’n’ mix for kids and adults.
Add in amazing food, live music, friendly faces and the atmosphere of two proper Peak District pubs coming together, and you’ve got one very good weekend ahead.
