The total number of Beers will be about 50, made up from 27 at Winchcombe and 20 at Toddington. The beer theme this year will be London & home counties. 12 different Ciders/Perry will also be available, split between the two stations. Also Hot & Cold Food with Soft Drinks

Train Times & Entry

A ticket for travel or a platform ticket costing £5, 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.
