The Saddleworth Beer Festival is set to make its return on Saturday, July 5, at the Boarshurst Band Club on Greenbridge Lane in Greenfield. This community-driven event aims to raise funds for the Royal British Legion, Oldham Mountain Rescue, and the 2025 Saddleworth Rushcart appeal.
Entry is priced at £5 at the door, which includes a complimentary first pint. Attendees are advised to bring cash, as card and contactless payments will not be accepted.
Throughout the day, festivalgoers can enjoy live music and traditional performances from the Saddleworth Morris Men and Saddleworth Women’s Morris and Clog dancers.
Adding a visual arts dimension to the festivities, local artist Roger Needham will showcase an exhibition of his work. The collection features scenes from Saddleworth, depictions of cultural events, and artistic interpretations of iconic Manchester city centre landmarks. The exhibition follows his successful showing during the recent Saddleworth Art Trail, and the artworks will be available for purchase.
Beer enthusiasts will be treated to a range of high-quality cask ales sourced from both local and national award-winning breweries. Featured brewers include We Are Wolf (Uppermill), Brewlab (Sunderland), Ilkley Brewery, and Phoenix Brewery (Heywood), among others.
Festival organiser Pete Archer encourages the community to attend, emphasizing the opportunity to support worthy causes while enjoying a day of traditional entertainment, fine art, and quality beer.
