IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Due to the current COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic and the public health guidance from the UK Government regarding limiting all social contact where possible, the festival committee has taken the decision to postpone the 2020 Tynedale Beer & Cider Festival, which was due to be held on 18-21 June 2020.
At this stage, we are hoping that many of you who have already purchased tickets will help us by waiting to see when, or if, any new dates are confirmed. Should Government restrictions mean that we have to cancel the festival for this year, you will still be able to claim a full refund.
We will also be contacting all of our sponsors over the next few days.
The Festival has already incurred significant costs which will not be recovered if the festival has to be cancelled in 2020. As we are all volunteers and run the festival for charity and fundraising, we would ask that you consider forgoing refunds, or only request a partial refund. If you could help us by not requesting a refund, your tickets would be valid for the 2021 festival.
We will keep you fully informed through social media and our email newsletters as to how things progress, and hopefully we will be seeing you later this year.

Tynedale Beer & Cider Festival is one of the North East’s biggest beer and cider festivals, and probably the best! An annual event, it takes place at Tynedale Park in Corbridge, the home of Tynedale Rugby Football Club. Over three days in June we bring you the best beers and ciders that the region and the UK have to offer, along with great wine, a gin and rum bar, delicious street food and live music. The festival is organised by Tynedale Lions Club and Tynedale Rugby Football Club. Its purpose is to raise money for good causes.
Tickets for our 2020 festival are now on sale. Please follow us on Twitter or Facebook to keep informed about developments and announcements.

7’s Rugby competition
We had a great afternoon 0f Rugby 7’s at our 2019 festival. Matt Fieldhouse is organising it again for 2020 and we hope to have at least 12 teams. So you can come along on the Saturday afternoon and enjoy some great beers and also watch some fast and exciting 7’s rugby. The competition is in aid of the Stay Strong Stu charities.
We would like to thank Northumberland Fire & Rescue service for their assistance and advice enabling us to ensure we adhere to safe practise.
