The Brigstock Beer Festival rolls on into 2024 with new beers, new flavours and some great new entertainment.

Last year's festival raised a fabulous £7800 for local charities, our main recipient being Cransley Hospice, Corby Foodbank, the Brigstock Country Park, the Brigstock St Andrews Church, The Brigstock Volunteer Group, the Brigstock United Reform Church, Sunnysiders and the Brigstock Archaelogical Group.

We have now raised over £111,400 since we first started way back in 2005!

So a HUGE thank you to everyone who supported last year from ourselves and our local charities.

This year, as always, all profits generated will go to charity. Our main recipients will be:

1. Cransley Hospice. Cransley provides care to patients where they choose to be. This may be in the patient's own home, outpatients, or within the hospice in-patient unit. Each year, the Hospice has to raise £1.4 Million to provide their inpatient and community based services, so let us try to help where we can to keep this vital service going. If you would like to make a one-off donation, you may do so from this page.
They support the whole family and offer the means to build support networks and reduce isolation to help make a positive difference to families coping with childhood cancer. As a parent-led charity, their experience working with families over the past 40 years means they understand the needs of families and the difficulties they face. For many parents and children, they are a social lifeline at what can be a traumatic and isolating time.

2. Kettering General Hospital Twinkling Stars, The maternity ward in any hospital is generally one of the happiest places to be, however unfortunately this is not always the case. Kettering General Hospital pride themselves on giving women the best care at every stage of their visit and this is all the more important when they experience a pregnancy loss.
At present they have a dedicated room in the Delivery Suite where they care for families. However this isn't purpose built and to that aim, the charity and the hospital Trust are fundraising to delivering a new Twinkling Stars maternity bereavement suite at Kettering General Hospital. Their aim to raise at least £375,000 towards supporting maternity bereavement services.

Please come and enjoy the festival, but while you are here remember our main charities and the other local groups who work tirelessly for their causes and please give generously.

Since our first festival in 2005, we have raised over £111,400!, with the main recipients being Cransley Hospice, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, the Kettering General Hospital Childrens Special Care Unit, Kettering's Bladder and Bowel Foundation, the Corby Foodbank, Lakelands Hospice and Headway. In addition we have raised funds for other local groups, helped fund the bridge over the brook and smaller projects such as a new park bench at the cemetery and a new village notice board. So once again a HUGE thank you to all who have attended and donated towards these worthy causes!

Sponsorship is a great way for local businesses to promote themselves and give something back to the local community by supporting charities working in the area.

We have several options available including the ever popular sponsorship a barrel of ale for £120. Sponsoring a barrel enters you into a raffle to become the main sponsor for the entire event. This guarantees you maximum exposure at the event itself, promotion in all our publicity material and local press coverage. This is a great way to win a sponsorship package that would cost many times more to buy directly.

As well as a chance to be our main sponsor, barrel sponsorship buys you space in our programme, your company's name on the barrel and tasting notes and 2 tickets to our Saturday night music night with 2 pints of your chosen beer to sample.

Other options include an advert in our programme starting at just £35 for a small advert up to a full page advert for just £180.

So if you feel you would like to assist, either financially or with your time or services, please contact us - We would love to hear from you.
