Following the success of its first instalment this year, a 'family friendly' beer festival will return to Kenilworth in 2024.

Organised by Kenilworth Rugby Club, the inaugural KENFEST this April was a big hit, with the bank holiday weekend event practically sold out.

Featuring a range of real ales, lagers and ciders - plus craft gins and sparkling wines - along with street food and a variety of live music over the weekend, the event was also organised with the help of Warwick District Council.

And now early-bird tickets are available for the return of the event to Glasshouse Lane next year.

"It's bigger and better than ever- KENFEST is back for 2024," organisers said. 

"Tickets on sales now - early bird offers for limited time only.

"Visit the new KENFEST website for more information."

In 2024 the event will be held between May 3 and 5, and organisers say they are planning to double the number of bars involved.

The KENFEST 'street food village' is also set to return, and details of bands and performers will be released soon.

Early-bird tickets are now up for sale at a 10 per cent discount.

"This year we are doubling the quantities in the bars as we nearly ran out of ale twice last year," the website said.

"Returning favourite ‘Hairy Tosser’ from Leatherbritches brewery, will be joined by a wider selection from Slaughterhouse, Church End and other breweries from further afield.

"Cider was a huge hit last year, so there will be even more fruity ciders, strong ciders as well as fizzy cider on draft.

"KENFEST would not be KENFEST without the legendary prosecco bar, back with an extended range in 2024.

"Our friends from East Chase Distillery will be back by popular demand, serving their outstanding premium liquors.

"Finally, our partners Purity, will again be staging the Purity Lager Bar as well as supplying their range of real ales, so there will be something for everyone.

"Watch this space for further updates on which breweries, ales, ciders and lagers are coming to KENFEST."
