Belgian Beer Bash with TripelB
Sat 12 July : 1.00 pm - 8.00 pm
Relax with beer, food, music and games in the stunning Castle grounds!
Treat yourself to delicious Belgian beers and experience a pub atmosphere outdoors with the historic backdrop of Hartlebury Castle. We’re thrilled to bring back this exciting event for a second year – working with TripelB Belgian Beer Café Worcester, and in collaboration with our favourite Belgian breweries, including Chouffe, Vedett, Palm and Rodenbach, and Trappist breweries Westmalle and La Trappe.
Be one of the first 250 people to buy tickets online and get a FREE Belgian beer branded glass each!
Enjoy a selection of beers from the Horsebox and the Chouffe bar while listening to live music from talented bands, trying food from fantastic vendors and browsing independent craft stalls. Expect a fun, chilled experience perfect for a summer weekend.
Plus, try the special new beer commemorating The Battle of Gheluvelt and the bravery of Worcestershire soldiers in the First World War!
Get into the competitive spirit with friends and family as you try out ‘pub’ games – who doesn’t love Giant Jenga? Look out for freebies promised by Chouffe for us to give out on the day too!
Music
Be entertained by these fantastic local bands performing throughout the day!
Sunset Levels - 3.30pm
Sunset Levels is a three-piece acoustic band known for reimagining classic songs from past decades with a fresh, modern twist. The group features Sadie on vocals, Joe on bass, and Curtis on guitar. Their performances blend nostalgic melodies with contemporary acoustic arrangements, offering audiences a unique musical experience.
Nothin’ But Dust - 6pm
Nothin’ But Dust echo the sound of folk, Americana and country blues and rock. Abi sings and plays rhythm guitar while Liam takes care of lead guitar. Nothin’ But Dust cover songs you’ll know and some you will discover!
Wattle & Riff - 1.30pm
Stripped-down, emotional and groove-driven; think Mississippi Delta meets Outback ruggedness. With Darren Mather and Gazza T Jones, joined on occasions by Sam Benson (bass/guitar) and Phil Brown (drums and percussion), Wattle & Riff are a New Tradition Blues / Country Blues / Acoustic Soul combo with a rustic texture and pure suburban musical grit.
Food
Hilltop Farm will be bringing a slow-roasted hog roast from their locally reared pigs to complement your beer, serving hot pork rolls with homemade apple sauce, stuffing and crackling (gluten-free rolls available), as well as some tasty falafel burgers.
Hayley’s Kitchen Cafe on-site is open until 5pm and you can bring takeaway food into the Carriage Circle – including sandwiches, jacket potatoes, toasties and cakes. Hartlebury Castle will also be providing more food fuel to keep you going.
You can tuck into ice cream, popcorn, snacks and soft drinks from the Hartlebury Castle snack station if you’ve still got room afterwards!
Unfortunately, Real Belgian Fries’ food van has broken down last-minute and they are unable to attend.
