Southport Beer Festivals sponsored feature
Get ready for an unforgettable celebration of flavour, music, and high-energy entertainment as the Southport Sausage and Cider Festival arrives at Victoria Park in Southport on Saturday 18th April 2026.
Hosted inside the Large Beer Hall Marquee, this vibrant event promises a lively Bavarian-inspired atmosphere packed with ciders from across the UK, delicious food, and interactive experiences.
Festival-goers can choose from two sessions:
- Afternoon Session: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
- Evening Session: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Proudly sponsored by Thatchers Cider, the festival will feature a wide range of exciting competitions and giveaways.
Visitors can take part in the popular “Spin to Win” experience with hundreds of prizes up for grabs, collect exclusive branded Thatchers take-home cups, and even enter for the chance to win your height in cider—one of the event’s most talked-about prizes.
Food lovers can indulge in a unique selection of cider-infused sausages from a local award-winning sausage maker, perfectly complementing the festival’s impressive drinks lineup. Guests will enjoy a curated menu of over 20 ciders, alongside a variety of craft ales, beers, and lagers.

Entertainment will be at the heart of the festival, with the return of the crowd-favourite Bavarian Stompers oompah band, bringing authentic, foot-stomping tunes to the marquee.
Fancy dress is welcome!
A live host and DJ will keep the energy high throughout the day and evening, running competitions, giveaways, and engaging with the crowd from the stage.
The fully themed beer marquee will transport attendees straight to Bavaria, creating a festive, high-energy environment perfect for friends, couples, and groups looking for a memorable day or night out.
Organised by Southport Beer Festivals, this event is set to be one of the highlights of the local calendar.

It follows the success of Southport Oktoberfest and the Southport St Patrick’s Day Shindig Party.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly — early booking is highly recommended.
