The annual Frocester Beer Festival is run in conjuction with Frocester Cricket Club at the cricket club's ground in the hamlet of Frocester near Stonehouse, Stroud. The Frocester Beer Festival is an all-ticket event taking place every August bank holiday weekend and the 2009 Festival was the 30th. There is parking and a camp-site (with public amenities, but non reservable pitches), a stage with a complete programme of live music throughout the festival, hot food, and most importantly, over 100 different cask-conditioned real ales from more than 50 breweries around the UK. There is also a large selection of wines along with cider and perry. Over the years this event has proved to be a highlight in many people's calendar, and has been a very successful way for us to raise further money for charity.
The 31st Festival will take place on 27th and 28th August 2010.
