Bigger & Better – YBF returns for the 4th Year
Yeovil Beer Festival will return for its fourth year on Friday 8th & Saturday 9th April 2016 and we are excited to announce we have a new home, the “Yeovil Showground”.
Although we had a fantastic 2015, working in partnership with Westland’s which raised a record amount; sadly due to the closure of the centre, we were left seeking an alternative venue. This year’s beer festival attracted in excess of 2500 people over the two days. This left us limited in terms of a venue that could accommodate such a large festival. The Yeovil Showground was seen as the ideal site to return to a more traditional festival under canvas which allowed for further growth in the years to come.
Continuing our commitment to a community driven event we will be working in partnership with Yeovil College Music Department who will be organising all of the production for the 30+ live music acts. We are also delighted to announce that the Yeovil College Hospitality and Catering department will be returning to provide all the hungry festival goers with tasty meals.
Yeovil Round Table & Yeovil Lions Club want to build on the success of the event we have had over the past 4 years. Last year raised a record amount of £15,000 of which £2000 of musical equipment was purchased for the benefit of Yeovil College music department. The remainder of the profit was split between both service clubs nominated charities which support many local good causes. Our success is due to the generosity of our supporters, volunteers and sponsors of whom we would particularly like to thank, Waterloo Music, Wincanton Print & Yeovil College Music Department. Finally Westlands, who waivered their charitable slice of the profits in favour of returning it to more local causes.
