LONDON CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL (LCBF) – the capital’s number one annual celebration of beer – returns this summer for two days on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th July 2026 for its biggest and best festival yet.
This year, the festival moves to a new in Southwark Park – close to the world famous Bermondsey Beer Mile – ensuring open air festival vibes aplenty this summer, in this huge outdoor green space.
The new venue is conveniently located within walking distance from both Bermondsey and Canada Water stops on the Jubilee tube line and Surrey Quays on the overground, offering easy transport links from wherever you are travelling in (and home) from!
Brought to you by beer world legends Greg Wells and Dan Sylvester, founders of We Are Beer (who also curate the annual ‘UK Top 50 Beer Awards’), the London Craft Beer Festival showcases over 150 breweries from the UK and around the world and serving up 800 different beers to around 20,000 people across the two-day event.
Festival goers will be able sample as many beers as they can fit into their chosen session as part of the now famous ‘ALL IN’ LCBF TICKET – yes, that does mean that all of your beer is included for just £64.50 per person (with group ticket discount also available).
Among this years’ list of breweries, expect a strong local showing from some of London’s most celebrated indie breweries, such as Deya, Verdant and the ever-popular Tiny Rebel. Plus South London neighbours – Anspach & Hobday, whose ‘London Black’ nitro porter was named #1 on the UK Top 50 Beer Awards list for 2025. Alongside the UK line-up is a strong international list, including Uno Mas from Ukraine and Copenhagen’s uber cool WarPigs, both making their LCBF debuts this year
NEW to the festival this year will be the ‘WET LED’ space – essentially a festival within a festival, with an area dedicated to the very best in other craft adjacent drinks; including Ojo de Tigre mezcal, Nc’nean whisky, and cider from The Newt in Somerset, to name a few!
AND, as always, to help you soak up the beer there will be a knock-out street food line-up, including Tacos Padre, From the Ashes BBQ, Poor Boys, Gurt Wings, Meat Castles, Jumi Cheese and Patio Pizza.
Alongside the beer and food, entertainment will include a host of DJs, a live blues and country music stage, beer talks and tastings and loads of festival games to keep the party going all day and night long!
There are three sessions across the weekend, 5.30pm to 10.30pm on Friday 17th July, and 11am to 4pm AND 5.30pm to 10.30pm on Saturday 18th July.
