The Old Shoe Beer Fest 2026

The Old Shoe Beer Fest is back for 2026 - with new breweries and some returning legends!

This year's Old Shoe Beer Fest will have a few new faces, and will also take place outside in Orchard Square, as well as downstairs in Sheffield Plate as before.

We are proud to be back for a third year, bringing you beers from some of our favourite breweries, carefully selected for a great range of products of the highest quality. 

Once again, we'll be hosting two sessions, both featuring the same amazing breweries:

• AFTERNOON SESSION = 12:00pm to 4:30pm
• EVENING SESSION = 5:00pm to 9:30pm

** Please make sure you purchase a ticket for the correct session as tickets are non-transferable. You can also purchase a ticket for both sessions and spend the entire day with us!

Each ticket includes:

• Access to the festival beers being poured by the breweries, in Sheffield Plate and outside in Orchard Square
• A collectable plastic OSBF festival cup (these are the best reusable plastic pints we've ever had!)
• Discounts for food purchased at participating venues in Orchard Square
• Access to exclusive outdoor seating areas in Orchard Square

** PLEASE NOTE: All beers are pay-as-you-go! No beer is included in the ticket price.

Just 200 tickets are available for each session at a discounted advance ticket price of £10. If any tickets remain on the day of the event, these tickets will be sold at the door for £12. But once the tickets for each session sell out -- that's it -- they are gone!

So what will you be drinking? Currently, the confirmed breweries are...

• Beak Brewery
• Duality Brewing
• Two Flints Brewery
• Vault City Brewing
• Ticking Clock Brew Co
• Woodland Brewing
• Dark Element Brew Co
• Tartarus Beers
• Beer Riff Brewing Co
• Dolphin Brewery

** Breweries are confirmed as of writing but are subject to change due to circumstances outside of our control.

Every brewery will be pouring multiple beers, ensuring even the most diehard craft beer fans will have plenty of exciting and unexpected brews to taste.

This is The Old Shoe's biggest beer event of the year! Don't miss it!
