The total number of Beers will be 50, made up from 30 at Winchcombe and 20 at Toddington. The beer theme this year will be Derbyshire & South Yorkshire. About 10 different Ciders/Perry will also be available, split between the two stations. Plus Hot & Cold Food with Soft Drinks

Train Times & Entry

A ticket for travel or a platform ticket costing £3, valid on the day, is required for entry to the event. You will then need to buy a standard souvenir glass for an additional £2. You will also need to purchase a Beer Token Card(s) for the value of £10. (No cash sales at the bar).

Hence a complete normal bar package costs £12.

You only need to buy a bar package once, which you can use at either bar. Extra token cards can be purchased as required. Unused tokens can either be donated to charity, or cashed in, during festival opening times only. Similarly, glasses can be returned; a refund of £1 will be given.

Unfortunately the GWR DMU shuttle is presently out of action. First train from Cheltenham at 10:15, and from Broadway at 10:40. See GWR site for later train times.

The normal timetable will be in operation on Sunday. See GWR site.

Limited Car Parking

Please note that parking at Winchcombe is very limited and it is more fun travelling there by train. (Ample parking available at Cheltenham Race Course and at Toddington Station)
