Our return last year was so good we thought: eh, why not, let’s do it all again. Thursday 5th to Sunday 8th October 2023 at – where else – the salubrious surrounds of Victoria Baths.

Tickets will be on general sale on this website from 9am, Thursday 18th May, and they’re expected to sell fast, as ever.

We’ll also be running exclusive pre-sale events at Port Street Beer House and The Beagle from 6pm on Wednesday 17th May, meaning you can guarantee your slot in the baths before anyone else. There will be tickets reserved to go on general sale for each session, to ensure those who are unable to attend the pre-sale still have an opportunity to get tickets.

A phone, laptop, or tablet will be required to gain access to purchase tickets: please note there will be no physical ticket sales at the events themselves.

Need to be reminded that tickets are going on sale? Sign up to our mailing list below to get an alert at 9am with a link straight through to buy tickets.
Our sessions this year will be as follows:
Thursday Evening (5.30pm – 10.30pm) 
Friday Morning (11am – 4pm)
Friday Evening (5.30pm – 10.30pm)
Saturday Morning (11am – 4pm)
Saturday Evening (5.30pm – 10.30pm)
Sunday (1pm – 6pm)

Tickets gain you access to the festival, as well as a commemorative glass to take home, cherish, and enjoy: tokens, food, etc need to be purchased separately.

Before tickets go on sale we’ll be confirming token details, as well as outlining the vision for this year’s festival and giving details of our trade session, plus information on how to get involved with the IMBC Beer City Fringe.

Breweries, beers, tastings, food vendors, entertainment, and all that other exciting stuff will be confirmed and announced a little further down the line.
