THE annual Kidderminster Beer and Cider Festival will return next month at a new venue.

Enthusiasts can choose from 35 cask beers, seven craft beers from local breweries, up to 20 local ciders, perries and local wines, and enjoy a gin bar and on-site food catering.

The popular event will be held at Kidderminster Harriers Social & Supporters Club from Thursday, November 9 to Saturday, November 11. There will be live music on the Friday evening.

Previous festivals have been held at Kidderminster Town Hall. 

Festival organiser and CAMRA Branch chairman, Rob Budworth, said: “Wyre Forest Branch of the Campaign for Real Ale looks forward to presenting another great beer and cider festival for the people of Wyre Forest and beyond in November. 

"Many hundreds of visitors were so pleased to see this event return last year after the Covid lockdowns and we are confident that they will support us yet again at our new venue at Kidderminster Harriers Social & Supporters Club. 

"Our volunteers will make sure that everyone really enjoys the event.”

Public opening times are 2pm to 10pm on Thursday 9 November, with a preview from noon for CAMRA members. 

On Friday 10 November, the festival will be open from noon to 11pm, and on Saturday from noon until 9pm.
