Thank you to everyone who came to this year’s festival. We hope you had a great time. Can you give us a review on Google Maps and upload your photos?
Particular thanks to all 443 volunteers who gave up their time to join in during the week. Without you, the festival simply wouldn’t have happened. Especially those who helped to set up the site and take it down again – many are still on site this week.
Charity
Every year the beer festival supports a local charity. Thanks to your generous donations, this year you raised over £15,000 for East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). Excellent work!
