Hastings Beer & Music Festival 2026

The Hastings Beer & Music Festival is one of the biggest social knees-ups in the area, and once you’re standing with a beer and those sea views rolling out in front of you, you’ll understand why.

There’s plenty on offer: a cracking selection of craft and real ales, plus lager, cider, wine, prosecco and even a dedicated gin & rum tent for anyone fancying something a little different. Line your stomach courtesy of a line-up of local caterers, mix all that with some of the best local musicians around, and you can see why the festival has earned its reputation as the best beer and music festival in the South East.

This year’s live line-up is headed up by VEXED, with Dead Calm, The Midnight Project, Crowley’s Curse, The Pat Butchers, Dukes and R.A.G.Z. all joining the bill.

Hastings Beer & Music Festival is put on entirely by volunteers from Hastings Round Table  and every single penny raised (over £1.4m to date) goes straight back to local charities.

Head down from 12 pm. Tickets for Saturday are £25.00 ‎+ £1.80 booking fee.
