Hemel Old Town Beer Festival is an exciting event based at the historic St. Mary’s Church, situated in the heart of Hemel Hempstead Old Town.
The grounds of St. Mary’s enjoy vista views of Gadebridge Park, with the church itself offering a unique venue as the town’s oldest building – gilded in history and heritage.
With over thirty quality beers and ciders on offer, attendees of Hemel Old Town Beer Festival are treated to artisan drinks from local producers and national stars from further afield. Beers and ciders are complimented by guest speakers, tasting sessions, live music and a sumptuous street food offering.
