We had sold out - Thank you for the support. We have released a final 20 tickets, so if you haven't got this really is the last chance:

We would really appreciate you sharing our posts with others - we don't have the advertising budget of many corporates, so if you have groups you can share to, then many thanks.

At the Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans, we run events to fundraise for Cheltenham Samaritans branch. But we also know that they couldn't deliver their amazing service without volunteers.

Would you consider joining them as a listening volunteer?

They hold regular information evenings where you can find out more about what is involved. The next on is being held on May 11th. Visit their website to find out more about volunteering and to sign up to attend this information session.

What a few days! Our Craft Beer Festival was packed with good beer, good food, good games, and even better company, all in support of Cheltenham Samaritans 💚

Over 20 incredible beers poured across two days, mountains of pies, cheese rolls, veggie sausage rolls and brownies devoured, games played with varying levels of competitiveness, friends reunited, and memories made that we’ll be laughing about for ages.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along, supported, sipped, snacked, and shared the love. And a special shout‑out to Nicki Nicki Marsh whose beautiful photos helped us capture the magic of the weekend.

Here’s to community, kindness, and craft beer, until next time! 🍻

We’re feeling so grateful for the amazing team of volunteers who helped make our Craft Beer Festival a success. Whether you were organising quietly behind the scenes or keeping the festival buzzing on the day, your time and enthusiasm made all the difference, and helped raise important funds for Cheltenham Samaritans.

A special thank you to Nicki Marsh for the stunning photos that captured the warmth, fun, and community spirit of the event. We’re lucky to have you all.
