We are back for a second year with another 35 + real ales for you to taste and enjoy from all around the UK!

Last year was the very first Ale in the Dale Beer Festival and was hugely successful and raised a massive £3,010 for Diddlebury Village Hall Renewal Fund. A big thank you to everyone that visited the Festival, and to the Sponsors, the Sun Inn, and last but not least the volunteers who worked so hard with all the preparations beforehand and particularly their commitment over the Festival weekend. Thank you one and all.

To all last year’s volunteers, and all the new volunteers, please visit our on-line Festival Volunteer timetable where you can choose and book your own times for cleaning or bar duties.

If you would like to becoming a Sponsor of this year’s Festival please contact us at our email address.

This year’s Festival will be taking a similar exciting format and all the information can be found right here on our web site.

We will update the web site as and when we sort out our Beers, Sponsors etc. This year you can follow us on both Facebook and Twitter!

Throughout the Festival entry is free.

You will find the Ale in The Dale Beer Festival in the Festival Marquee erected on the Sun Inn car park, Corfton, SY7 9DF.

The Sun Inn's bar, lounge and restaurant will be open during the Festival.

Beer purchased at the Festival may be consumed in the Pub.

Families are welcome in both the Festival Marquee and the Pub.
