Raise your glasses to City Beerfest in Square Mile's Yard of Ale

07 May 2026

Returning for its 12th year, the hugely popular City Beerfest will be held in the City of London’s historic Guildhall Yard on Thursday 2 July from 12.30pm to 9pm.

The festival will showcase 13 of the Brewers' Copany's amazing member breweries, food stalls offering hot food, and live music and games – all of it taking place on the site above London’s second-century Roman amphitheatre.

Over 55 fantastic beers will be available to try, all served in distinctive, limited-edition City Beerfest glasses handed out with customers’ beer tokens (see below).
