GBBF 2025 Moves to the NEC Birmingham

Friday 4 October 2024

Adam Gent, GBBF Organiser, is pleased to announce the triumphant return of the Great British Beer Festival, and we’ve taken the decision this year to move to a new home.

The festival will take place from 5-9 August 2025 at the NEC Birmingham, the first time we’ll be returning to the West Midlands since 1983. This is not a decision that has been taken lightly, but we believe wholeheartedly that is the right change to make.

More information is on the Great British Beer Festival website 21, and as we move through the year we will have more announcements regarding breweries, Discovery Bar participants, entertainment and food.

If you are interested in volunteering for next year’s festival, please complete this short online form 16. Don’t worry, this is just to give us a feel for what we need to arrange – you won’t be held to what you enter and the usual application process will follow later. Completing the form will also allow us to contact you when the staffing form is available and with other relevant updates.

If you have any questions about The Great British Beer Festival 2025 please send them to ku.gro.armac@stneve and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

We can’t wait to see you there!
