Around Faversham

Our bar, run jointly by Canterbury Branch and Swale Branch, is a street bar during the colourful, free entry Faversham Hop Festival.
The festival features food and drink, stalls, music and camping - see the festival website for details. Our bar has cask beers from 7 Kentish brewers, and cask cider from 2 Kentish cider producers.
We open from 10.00am to 5.30pm on both days.
The map shows our usual location on East Street (what3words: ///dugouts.toffee.nuggets) but this has to be confirmed by the hop festival, so check here nearer the date.

- Rising Tide Festival
Friday 16 – Saturday 17 October 2026
Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

Back for its third year, this festival is curated by Time & Tide Brewing within the stunning grounds of Canterbury Cathedral (a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
The organisers promise "a carefully curated line-up of beers - from fresh, hoppy IPAs to sours, low-alcohol options and rich imperial stouts, plus a few wild and experimental pours for good measure. There’s also cider, wine, and a selection of spirits and soft drinks".
Alongside the beer they are offering street food, DJs and seating areas
