Chappel Beer Festivals

Todays weather is predicted to be between 8 and 13*C 0 and 14*C cloudy with a moderate breeze, with light rains starting early afternoon.

For most of the year the site is a railway museum, while we cover off as many of the hazards as we can we recommend you wear suitable footwear so you do not get stones in your shoes a lot, or maybe stub an unwary toe on the track.

Just before we open today this is Hopleafs Menu for your delectation

Todays weather is predicted to be between 10 and 14*C cloudy with a moderate breeze, with very little chance of rain. Its up to you how much you trust the Met Office to believe that. :)

Please remember that for most of the year the site is a railway museum, and so we recommend you wear suitable footwear. If you wearing Sandals or Stilettos your very likely to get stones in your shoes a lot, or maybe stub a toe on the track.

A few final setup shots from today. We open at 11 Tomorrow and there are still tickets available. Daytimes are selling well, and we are getting close to capacity tomorrow and Friday.

Just a post to say that the beer ordering is starting to come together and we plan to release the beer list on the 14th as a Valentines Day treat. 🍺

I’m happy to say we have worked through most of the issues, and ticket for the Chappel Winter Beer Festival are now on sale. Our problem was the web site was attacked over the holiday period, and it has taken a while to switch servers, get the site back up and running on the new hosts, as well as having to go over the site code to ensure there are no unpleasant surprises lurking for anyone.

The Winter Festival will be open Thursday 26 Feb, Friday 27 Feb and Saturday 28 Feb 2026. As usual we operate with ticket arrival time. You need to purchase a ticket for the time you intend to arrive, but once you are here you can stay all day. Due to limitations of space, especially in case of bad weather, Chappel Winter Beer Festival is a ticket only event. Tickets must be purchased before arrival. There are no tickets on the door.

Tickets are issued to cover two entry times. Tickets purchased for the first session each day will be valid all day until we close but please come in before 16:00. Sessions are 11:00 to 16:00 and 16:00 to 21:30. Tickets include Festival Glass plus a starter pack of £10 worth of beer tokens as well as admission.
