Following the success of last year's sell‑out event, the much loved St John's House Beer, Gin & Cider Fayre returns to the town this weekend.

Taking place on Saturday 16 May, from 12 noon to 7pm, the ticketed event will be hosted at St John's House, a stunning 17th‑century landmark in the heart of Warwick.

Visitors are invited to bring friends and family for an afternoon of local flavours, live entertainment and relaxed enjoyment in the house and gardens.

Mark Ryder, Executive Director for Communities at Warwickshire County Council, said: "We are so pleased to welcome this fayre back for another year. Following the phenomenal success of last year's sell-out, it is wonderful to see this celebration become a cornerstone of Warwick's annual events calendar.

"The event is a fantastic example of our vibrant county—bringing families and friends together in the beautiful, historic setting of St John's House, while championing the incredible craftsmanship of Warwickshire's local brewers, distillers, and food producers.

"Supporting our local independent businesses is a key priority for the Council, and events like this are the perfect way to showcase the exceptional food and drink produced right here in Warwickshire. We hope visitors will enjoy the event and remember to drink responsibly."

The event celebrates the best of Warwickshire's brewers and distillers, with Warwickshire brewed real ales, refreshing ciders, flavoursome gins and cocktails, street food and fresh coffee, and local ice cream.

Confirmed traders include Warwickshire Gin Company, Windmill Hill Brewery, Brubl Brewery, Dough & Brew, The Shakespeare Pit Roast Company, Annie's Antics Vintage Ice Cream Van, and Coffee Cup Cabin.
