☀️🍻 What a fantastic day at the 25th Tynedale Beer Festival!

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers who are giving up their time to help throughout the weekend. We’re also incredibly grateful to the Tynedale Lions and Tynedale Rugby Club for choosing Calvert Kielder as one of this year’s charity partners.

The sun is shining, the music is playing, the beer is flowing, and there’s a brilliant atmosphere across the festival site.

'Kielder is a place of superlatives; England’s biggest forest, the UK’s largest human-made lake by capacity, the darkest skies...'

So lovely to see ourselves name-checked in this Guardian article recently. Every mention of Calvert Kielder to a friend/colleague/family member means more people getting to experience it for themselves. ⭐

England’s largest forest has an aura reminiscent of parts of Canada or Finland. This year it celebrates its centenary with new trails and dark sky events
