Visitor Information

About Postlip

Postlip Hall hosts the Cotswold Beer Festival. The hall is home to one of the UK’s first co-housing communities.

For the festival we partner with Gloucestershire & Cheltenham CAMRA.

Live Acts

Check out our Live Music page for updates on who’s headlining the Tithe Barn on Friday and Saturday nights.

We also host a variety of wandering performers across the weekend to embrace our festival vibe.

Under 18s

Under 18s are free on Saturday and Sunday when accompanied by well-behaved adults.

Family members will enjoy our live entertainment, including music, morris dancing, and activities for children.

Getting Here

Full info available here.

We run a festival bus service with advance tickets.

The nearest train station is Cheltenham Spa.

You can get here by public bus, by car or on foot. There is a 10-15 minute walk to get to the festival site.

Camping

Many choose to camp, so they are just a short walk from the festival grounds each day.

It’s not glamping—arguably it’s the opposite! We have portaloos, fairly flat ground and bottled water. That’s pretty much it.

You pay one price per person all weekend. Tickets are available here.

Disabled Access

The Festival is held in an unmodernised medieval tithe barn with a disabled toilet outside.

Access is along a long track so we run an assisted mobility shuttle bus from the parking field or bus drop-off for those who need it.

Alternatively we can provide a few permits to park nearer the Festival—just contact us to tell us what you need.

Delicious Local Food

We are sourcing the best local burgers to cook in house, and will be inviting a select few delicious local food trucks to supply the festival.

Friday night we’re cohosting with Cotswold Pizza Co, and on Saturday we’ll be welcoming back SriLicious for their scrumptious curries and samosas.

Beers & More

We have something for everyone. All our ales include vegetarian and vegan options, our ciders are vegan and we have a range of high quality bottled and craft beers.

Over 100 beers and 40 ciders are making there way here. Siblings gin bar is also back with their famous local mixologists.

Soft Drinks

We will have a range of fizzy drinks and fruit juice, including Hayles Fruit Farm juice.

Soft drinks are free to “designated drivers” who commit to drinking no alcohol at the festival—ask for a card at the soft drinks stand when you arrive. (This excludes only the Hayles juices.)

CAMRA members

CAMRA members are now able to purchase very heavily discounted festival entry tickets, valid for entry at any time over the weekend.

This offer replaces the free pint for CAMRA members that has been available in previous festivals.

Money

Beer and soft drinks are bought with tokens—you can pay for these by card or with cash.

Food can be purchased by card from our delicious food trucks.

Dogs

We welcome dogs if they are kept under control on a lead, and if their owners clear up after them.

Dogs are not allowed in the Tithe Barn. Please give our food trucks space 🙂
