If you love real ale, local ciders, and a lively community atmosphere, Molesey Beer Festival 2025 is one to mark in your diary. Returning for another year of hops, music, and good company, this West Molesey favourite combines local charm with Oktoberfest flair. Here are five things you need to know before raising your glass!
1. It’s Back This October – and Bigger Than Ever
The Molesey Beer Festival 2025 runs from 3–4 October at the 1st Molesey Scout Hut, 193 Walton Road, KT8 2DY. Spread across three main sessions and a relaxed Sunday take-out event, it’s one of Surrey’s most anticipated community beer fests. The Friday and Saturday evening sessions are for adults only, while Saturday afternoon welcomes families for a more laid-back experience.
2. It’s All for a Good Cause
This isn’t just about great beer – it’s about community. The festival is entirely volunteer-run and raises funds for the 1st Molesey Scouts, helping support activities for local young people. For 2025, it’s proudly supported by KWW Solicitors, continuing its tradition of local business partnerships that keep the event thriving year after year.
3. Expect Quality Beer, Cider – and a Splash of Gin
Over the weekend, you’ll find a handpicked selection of local beers, real ales, ciders, and craft gins, plus prosecco and alcohol-free options for designated drivers. The organisers go out of their way to spotlight small independent breweries, and the Oktoberfest-inspired food keeps the vibe hearty and sociable.
4. There’s Live Music and a Family Session
The festival isn’t just about what’s in your glass – it’s about atmosphere. Expect live music and DJs on both evenings, creating a lively and welcoming buzz. Saturday afternoon is perfect for families, with entertainment for kids and a relaxed pace for adults who prefer to sip rather than swig.
Check the full entertainment schedule on the Molesey Beer Festival website.
5. Tickets Sell Fast – Especially for Saturday Night
Tickets are already on sale and do tend to sell out early. A standard adult ticket costs £12.50, which includes entry, a festival glass, a programme, and two drink tokens. For superfans, a weekend pass (£30.00) offers great value and more tokens. Under-18s can join Saturday afternoon for just £2.50.
Book your tickets via TryBooking.
Whether you’re a seasoned ale lover or simply after a friendly weekend out, Molesey Beer Festival 2025 promises a perfect mix of community spirit, top-notch drinks, and cheerful local entertainment — all in aid of a great cause.
