The Great Yarmouth Beer and Cider festival has a new home - The Ice House! The beers will be icy cold and the entertainment will be cool.
The annual event will take place from 18th - 21st September at the Ice House with a ‘Best of’ award ceremony judged by East Norfolk CAMRA and Lacons as lead supporting brewery.
There will be a whole new range of beers and ciders from breweries across the region including casks from Lacons.
The 2025 event will welcome a huge injection of Circus and other live entertainment, all included in the entry fee.
