StageCraft Festival 2027

A celebration of independent beer presented by Dolphin Brewery & South Street

Fri 23 Apr, 5.30-10.30pm; Sat 24 Apr 11am-4pm & 5.30-10.30pm

We're delighted to announce the return of our much loved independent beer festival StageCraft for its third iteration in 2027. Expect the usual expertly curated line up of independent craft breweries from across the UK, alongside wine & cider offers & delicious street food.

Ticket price includes an exclusive festival glass to keep.

First line up announcement:

ABYSS from Lewes are bold and expressive, with a big dose of creative flair and community spirit. Best known for their top-tier hop-forward beers, but their psychedelic vibes and general awesomeness extend across everything they do.

Holy Goat from Dundee are one of the leading mixed-fermentation breweries around, making incredibly delicious barrel-aged fruited sours. Now brewing across a wide range of styles, all to equal critical acclaim. Hail the Goat!

Indie Rabble from Windsor are super creative and fun, producing some of the most characterful and design-led beers around. But their love for classic lagers and IPAs is just as clear — always lovingly brewed and deliciously drinkable.

Pressure Drop from North London are quite simply one of the best breweries in the country. They’ve been leading the way for over a decade now, and it shows in the quality of their beers. Still at the top of their game. Still firmly independent. Still pure class.

Simple Things Fermentations from Glasgow really stand out in the UK beer scene through their exploration of less common styles and ingredients, and their strong sense of place and identity. Beers that are both traditional and contemporary, yet always bold, confident and beautifully crafted.

Session times:

Friday 24th April: 5.30-10.30pm (bars close 10.15pm)
Saturday 25th April: 11am-4pm (bars close 3.45pm)
Saturday 25th April: 5.30-10.30pm (bars close 10.15pm)

Evening sessions are for adults only (over 18s). Saturday afternoon children welcome with a responsible adult for a nominal ticket of £3, but please note that there will not be any activities for children and they will not receive a festival glass.

Access dogs of all kinds are welcome at all sessions. For all other dogs we ask you come to the Saturday afternoon session only, because of the nature of the venue and lack of outdoor space.
