WYE VALLEY BREWERY & LAKEFEST RAISE A GLASS TO NEW PARTNERSHIP
Wye Valley Brewery and Lakefest have announced an exciting new partnership which sees the brewery’s award-winning lager, 1985, becoming the official beer of the popular family festival.
Founded in 2012, Lakefest takes place in Herefordshire’s picturesque Eastnor Castle Deer Park, and has grown to become one of the UK’s favourite independent family festivals.
From humble beginnings as a cider festival, Lakefest is now renowned for its standout live music, diverse daytime activities and welcoming family atmosphere. Headline artists this year include The Charlatans, Example, and Madness.
Abbie Gadd, Head of Sales & Marketing at Wye Valley Brewery, commented, “We are chuffed to announce this partnership with Lakefest. As a family-friendly festival that champions Herefordshire produce, it’s a natural fit for us, and we’re delighted to become the official Lakefest beer partner.
“1985 has earned its place as one of our most popular beers, thanks to its light, crisp and refreshing taste. It’s the perfect summertime pint and an ideal choice for festival crowds. We’re thrilled to share our multi-award-winning lager with festivalgoers as we celebrate its 10th anniversary.”
Founded by Peter Amor in 1985, Wye Valley Brewery has flourished under the leadership of his son, Vernon, becoming one of the UK’s largest independent family run breweries.
From 5–9 August, Lakefest brings five days of live music, entertainment and activities for all ages. Tickets, with a range of camping options, are on sale now:
