Stewarton is preparing to raise a glass once again as one of the town's favourite summer events returns next month – and organisers promise this year's festival will be bigger and better than ever.
The Stewarton Beer Festival returns to Magbiehill Park on Saturday 1st August, bringing together an afternoon of great drinks, live music and community spirit, all in support of Stewarton Annick FC Amateurs.
Running from 12pm until 8pm, the festival has become a highlight of the local calendar, attracting hundreds of people from across Ayrshire to enjoy a fantastic day out with friends and family.
But despite the name, organisers are keen to point out that the festival is about much more than beer.
Visitors can enjoy a huge range of drinks including craft beers, ciders, cocktails, gin, rum and vodka, with something to suit every taste. A fantastic line-up of live entertainment will keep the atmosphere buzzing throughout the day, while a selection of food vendors will ensure nobody goes hungry.
Perhaps most importantly, every ticket sold helps support local amateur football.
All profits from the event go directly to Stewarton Annick FC Amateurs, helping the club continue to provide opportunities for local players and invest in football within the community.
Oganiser James Taylor said:
"The Beer Festival has become one of the highlights of the Stewarton calendar. It's a brilliant chance for friends to get together, enjoy some fantastic drinks and live music, and at the same time support local grassroots football.
"Whether you're a craft beer enthusiast, a cocktail fan, a gin lover or simply looking for a great summer day out, there's something for everyone. Every ticket makes a real difference to our football club, so we hope the community will come along and help make this our biggest festival yet."
Photographs from Stewarton Beer Festival 2025 show exactly why the event has built such a loyal following, with packed crowds, sunshine, live music and plenty of smiling faces enjoying everything the festival has to offer.
With tickets already selling well, organisers are encouraging people to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
