That’s Oktoberfest done for another year, and we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came along and joined us over the weekend.

It was great to see so many people at the brewery across the four days, enjoying the beer, food and music – with some surprisingly decent September weather thrown in too.

A lot goes into putting these weekends together, so a particular thank you must go to our team, who worked incredibly hard before, during and after the event to keep everything running.

We’d also like to thank all of the local breweries who supplied beer for the festival, as well as the musicians and street food teams who joined us across the weekend. These events are very much a collective effort and we’re grateful to everyone who played a part.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who came through the doors. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

A LITTLE MILESTONE FOR US

Oktoberfest was our final beer festival of 2026 and, all being well, the last one we’ll hold in our current temporary event space.

It’s served us well while work has been going on around us, but by the time our Easter Beer Festival comes around next year, we hope to be welcoming you into our new Long Melford taproom and garden for the first time.

There’s still plenty to get done between now and then, so we won’t get ahead of ourselves - but it will certainly be a nice way to start the 2027 beer festival calendar.

For now, here are a few photos from Oktoberfest 2026.

Thanks again to everyone who joined us, helped out or contributed to the weekend.

See you at the next one.
