GBBF: The Great British Beer Festival!
The Great British Beer Festival has been happening all this week at the Olympia in London and it will be continuing on throughout this weekend.
Apart from the obvious beer tasting, there are tons of activities, both beer and non-beer related, to take part in. From music acts to traditional pub games to tutored beer tasting sessions, there is a lot to occupy your weekend!
The Great British Beer Festival is an accumulation of more than 350 breweries from all over the UK. Consequently there is an impressive total of 27 bars across both halls, serving over 900 real ales, ciders, perries and international beers such as draught and bottled beers from Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic and more.
There is a large seating area ideal for sitting down to enjoy a meal from one of the many delicious food stalls at the festival.
Tickets are available online for £10 and they may also be purchased upon entry for £12.
The Venue
Olympia London is centrally located which makes it easily accessible by public transport. There is a map on the venue website to help you plan your route.
The festival uses two of the impressive spaces on offer – the Olympia Grand and the Olympia National. Together, the two halls are the ideal size to accommodate the expected 55,000 thirsty Great British Beer Festival guests.
The venue can also cater to any need, as it has a range of facilities for those with disabilities. Click here for full accessibility facilities.
