We welcome every visitor to the festival, and have a unrivalled number of seats at Manchester Central. Many of you enjoy making new friends of the drinkers you sit alongside.

But maybe you want to arrange to meet and sit with old friends and colleagues as you try our stunning selection of beers and ciders? So – new for 2020 – we’re pleased to introduce the Tiny Rebel VIP Package.

At the heart of the festival, you’ll be handily-placed for all our 20+ bars. And whether for one or twenty people, your package includes entry, souvenir glass, festival guide, a guaranteed seat in the Tiny Rebel VIP Area and £10 of beer /cider tokens to get you started. It’s ideal for groups whose members may arrive at different times.

Manchester Beer & Cider Festival to be bigger and better than ever

The big one is back at Manchester Central this January as plans for the seventh Manchester Beer and Cider Festival (MBCF) take shape.

Running from Thursday 23rd to Saturday 25th (with a preview evening for CAMRA members on 22nd), the festival will be the biggest yet. The festival is known for its innovation, with traditional and modern beer styles showcased side by side up here in Manchester well before the Great British Beer Festival in London took the keg plunge last month. Multiple bars give drinkers overwhelming choice, but each part of the event is reviewed to present improvements.

MBCF 2019 started set up on 20th January, opening to the trade on the 23rd and then the public from 24th to 27th. And then it was all packed away again.

Now you can revisit the whole eight days in just over six minutes thanks to Manchester Central’s time lapse camera.
