2020 announcement:

For the last few months, publicans and their staff have been struggling to comply with the current government Covid-19 restrictions which is having an effect on their business and livelihood.

With a fair number of our national pubs only recently opening and still under more threat than they were before, we feel that it is not the time or the social environment to hold a Festival.

With this in mind, plus the fact that the 2020 venue has confirmed it will remain closed indefinitely, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 South East Essex Beer & Cider Festival.

We would, however, encourage all our branch members and visitors to visit and support our local pubs rather than attend our festival. They need your help now more than ever.
