Peterborough Beer Festival 2022

About

Our five day event aims to showcase the best real ales from the UK, all kept in tip-top condition under giant marquees by our expert team of beer keepers. Add to that our location on the embankment of the River Nene in the heart of the city with entertainments on every day and you have the perfect festival atmosphere. We believe in getting the best selection of beers that people will enjoy and will continue to talk about long after they have finished drinking. 2022 will be a truly memorable and unique experience, welcome to Peterborough – the biggest, the brightest and the best!

Entertainment line-up

On Tuesday (23rd) there will be an Open Mic evening of local musicians performing on the main stage. Please contact Stacey at vocalsoulmate@hotmail.co.uk for further info.

On Wednesday (24th) Groove Cartell, a nine piece Funk & Soul band from Cambridgeshire will take to the stage.

On Thursday (25th) it’s time to blow the cobwebs away with Peterborough’s very own manic 4 piece covers band, Last Minute Brigade and rounding off the evening are The Expletives and their tribute to the Punk & New Wave Explosion of the 70's & 80's.

Friday (26th) sees two of Lincolnshire’s finest bands gracing the festival stage. We have 23 Reasons taking the early evening slot performing their unique unplugged versions of songs from the 60s to the present day and finishing the evening we have Revolver, engaging the audience from the word go and making any event belong to the audience as much as the band themselves with their energetic stage performances of all the biggest indie anthems. The Palmy Ukelele Band will be spreading love, joy and happiness by putting their own spin on popular song-a-long, foot-stompintunes from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Plus, Cambridgeshire-based, Division will be filling the air with their acoustic melodies!

And finally Saturday (27th) we will have the Another Girl Another Planet ready to get you on your feet with their mix of high energy New Wave, Ska, Punk, Rock and Pop tunes. There will be indie music from The Tenters who hail from between Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norkfolk. Popular duo, Salmon Dave will bring their unusual, outlandish adn occasional re-writes of popular songs to entertain the crowds. Local band, The Nuggets, will be making a show of the sounds of the sixties. Closing the festival are Motor City Vipers an electrifying 8-piece party soul band guaranteed to bring your event to fill the dancefloor – lovingly recreating a wide selection of Motown and Northern Soul floor-fillers from the 60s and 70s… with a few modern gems thrown in! 

There will be a full Saturday afternoon line up, which is still work in progress, along with Friday afternoon as well. Keep your eyes peeled and we will let you know who will be appearing and full timing schedule once we have finalised the arrangements.
