FROM THE LAND 2025

Beer Festival

 

From The Land is back for 2025, bigger & better than last year. 

Held on the 3rd & 4th May at Rigg & Furrow on our family farm Acklington Park, situated right in the heart of the Northumberland countryside.

We have carefully curated the brewery list, with 10 of our favourite breweries from all around the UK, pouring over four sessions in two days. There will also be some exclusive bottle pours, talks & tastings from the guest brewers.

But it’s not just beer: we have some of the best UK cider, a load of low intervention/natural wines, cocktails and coffee.

Oh and of course a load of delicious street food, entertainment and DJs. All overlooking the beautiful Northumbrian countryside.

There will be 4 sessions over the Saturday & Sunday. Running from 12:00 till 16:30 and then 17:30 till 22:00 each day.

    The festival is held on a working farm with livestock and farm vehicles so please don’t leave your dog unattended at any time.

  • We are approximately a 40 minute drive from Newcastle upon Tyne & 15 minutes from Alnwick & Amble. Whilst we understand that this can cause some issues when trying to organise getting to & from a beer festival, we think it’s worth it…you will find no other festival location like this. Set on working farm in in the heart of North Northumberland.

    And to help with getting you here and back we in the middle of organising some organised ticketed transport to and from the festival.

    More info and transport tickets will go on sale early in 2025.

    Tickets for this will be made separately to the festival tickets.

    Public Transport:

    Acklington Station is a short walk from the brewery (20-25 minutes), along a footpath & quiet countryside road. Check with Northern rail for the schedule.

    And the X18 Arriva bus (Newcastle to Berwick route) stops in Acklington, followed by a short walk to the brewery.

    Car Parking:

    We have plenty of on-site car parking available.

    Cars can be left in our car park overnight, however we accept no liability and your car must be picked up before midday the following day.

    Taxi:

    There are a number of local taxi firms, based in Amble, Alnwick & Morpeth which you will be able to book, however pre-booking is essential.

    And if there is a group of you coming why not look into hiring a mini bus and splitting the cost?

  • Unfortunately not, we don’t allow any camping on site (including campervans/ motorhomes).

    However, there are two campsites nearby. Both are only a 5 minute drive, with one only a 20 minute walk along a quiet country road.
