The BSHG Beer Festival 2024

Friday the 24th to Sunday the 26th of May

Following last year's success the Burton Stather Heritage Group’s Annual Beer Festival again will be early in the year, being held for the second time on the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend.

Established as an annual event since 2015, your diary dates for 2024 are Friday 24th to Sunday 26th of May. We hope the Springtime date will bring finer weather and lighter evenings to help you enjoy this event.

There will be live entertainment thoughout the weekend with Special Bru on Saturday and Fyrebird on Sunday. As usual you will be spoilt for choice with vast selection of beers and ciders on the menu, to be annouced later.

The 2021 Burton Beer Festival

The success of this festival has meant we can spread the goodwill a little further enabling us to support the running of our group and its events and causes within our local community along with support for other volunteer, community groups and organisations, both practically and with donations.

Festival Transport

New - Shuttle Bus Service

To help ease traffic and parking conjeston on the Stather, this year for the first itme we will be providing a Shuttle Bus service to the Beer Festival, picking up and dropping off around Burton upon Stather. The bus will make regular runs up and down the Stather Hill through Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday daytimes. It will utilise the existing service bus stops around the village.

We highly recommend that you take advantage of this service, the benefits are many. Reduce conjestion on the narrow Stather Road, which would normally be especially busy on Festival days. No need to search for parking spaces which are requied by many of the residents. No arduous trek up the steep Stather Hill on foot. No drink driving, there really isn't any excuse.

Park & Ride

Visitors from outside of Burton can also take advantage of the Shuttle Bus using it as a Park & Ride Service. We encourage you to park at the Playing Field, off Wiltshire Avenue, then take the Bus down to the Festival.
