The Welly are preparing for a busy summer, its pinnacle being The Wellington Beer Festival on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd June.
This year’s theme will be ‘Craft Beer’ and we will be accordingly showcasing a delicious range of established and up-and-coming beers from both UK and international breweries. There will also be a fine selection of ciders, lively local bands and the chef’s delectable barbecue concoctions to keep all of your senses stoked throughout the weekend.
The Wellington Beer Festival is one of the highlights of the Bath Ales calendar of events, and don’t forget… this year you’ll have two days to recover, so make the most of it!


what bands are playing this weekend? -is there a running order?
I was informed at the pub that the listing was on this website -can’t find it?
Hi Joe, thank you for your message – please have a look at this new blogpost: http://www.bathales.com/blog/2012/06/the-welly-beer-fest-is-this-weekend/ – there’s a downloadable pd with the Welly Fest programme, which has all the information about the bands, the beers and the barbie etc. Please note though that times were correct at the time of printing but all times of the bands are subject to change – please keep checking the stage!
How did you do this year? How did the craft beer go down? We are looking for a theme for next year.
It went very well thank you, despite the, erm, changeable weather
