The 50th Steel City Beer & Cider Festival will be taking place 21-24 October 2026. Once again the festival is being held at the atmospheric Kelham Island Museum, a venue full of character with bars, food vendors, games, live music and more spread across several areas including the upper hall, Victorian courtyard and Stone Garden.

The bars will all together boast a range of about 200 cask ales, all of which are planned to be on sale on the first night and available until they run out, along with a list of 70 other craft beers in keg which will be on rotation. There will also be 30 different ciders and perries to try.

There will be a programme of special talks, tours and tastings you can choose to add to your festival experience as an optional extra and these are now available to book.
