Tinsel Town Craft Beer Festival 18th/19th & Xmas Fair 20th December 2026
Tinsel Town Craft Beer Festival
18th & 19th December 2026
St Mary’s Arts Centre, Strand Street, Sandwich, CT13 9HN
Tinsel Town is back! Join us in the beautiful surroundings of St Mary’s Arts Centre in Sandwich for a festive celebration of independent craft beer, delicious food, music and good company.
Hosted by local brewery Time & Tide Brewing, our much-loved festive beer festival returns for another weekend of great drinks and Christmas cheer.
Opening Times
Friday 18th December: 4pm – 10pm
Saturday 19th December: 12pm – 10pm
Last orders will be called approximately 30 minutes before closing.
What to Expect
We'll be showcasing a fantastic selection of independent craft beers, with plenty to explore across our draught taps and an additional range of beers in cans.
Not a beer drinker? No problem! We'll also have a carefully curated selection of wines, ciders, soft drinks and other options. We might even have a few festive cocktails up our sleeves… watch this space!
Tayberry Foods will be serving delicious hot food throughout the event, while festive music and the wonderful atmosphere of St Mary’s provide the perfect backdrop for catching up with friends and family.
Whether you're a dedicated craft beer enthusiast or simply fancy a festive drink somewhere a little different, Tinsel Town is the perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit.
Free Entry – Everyone Welcome!
There's no admission charge and no need to buy tickets. Simply turn up, enjoy the atmosphere and pay for whatever you fancy, as you go. Equally, you can book your free place if you’d like to reserve a spot.
Drinks will be served in recyclable plastic cups, with the option to purchase a glass if you'd prefer.
Families are welcome, although we ask that children remain supervised at all times and do not run around the venue, particularly as the historic building has some uneven flooring.
We operate a strict Challenge 25 policy. If you're fortunate enough to look under 25, please bring valid physical photographic ID if you wish to purchase alcohol. Photographs or digital copies of ID cannot be accepted.
Well-behaved dogs are also very welcome! Please keep them on a lead at all times, be considerate of other visitors and remember that owners are responsible for their pets throughout the event.
Getting Here
St Mary’s Arts Centre is located in the heart of historic Sandwich, Kent, just a short walk from Sandwich railway station and approximately an hour by train from London.
