Scots beer enthusiasts have something to look forward to this summer with the announcement of the new Strathaven Beer Festival. The festival is being organised by the award-winning team behind the Eaglesham Beer Festival, with the aim of bringing a day of celebration to the market town of Strathaven.
Scheduled for May 31, the event will take place in Strathaven Park, offering a selection of craft beers from some of Scotland’s top breweries. In addition to beer, attendees can also enjoy gin, cocktails, wine, and delicious street food. The festival will feature live music, entertainment for children, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
Organiser Fraser Wilson expressed his excitement for bringing the festival to Strathaven, highlighting the town’s strong sense of community spirit and creative energy. Drawing inspiration from the success of the Eaglesham Beer Festival, Wilson hopes to create a similarly enjoyable event for the residents of Strathaven.
Wilson emphasised the importance of collaborating with local businesses and service providers to organise a festival that benefits the town and its inhabitants. The focus is on creating a memorable community event that can become a regular highlight on Strathaven’s calendar.
Tickets for the festival will go on sale on February 27, with an in-person ticket sales event scheduled for February 20 at The Weavers Inn. This approach ensures that locals have the opportunity to secure tickets without online booking fees, underscoring the festival’s commitment to serving the community.
As preparations for the inaugural Strathaven Beer Festival continue, organisers are encouraging residents to follow the festival’s social media channels for updates on participating breweries and event details. With the festival set to add to the already vibrant events calendar in Strathaven, anticipation is high for a day of beer, music, food, and fun in the summer sun.
