The 20th Maldon Beer & Cider Festival takes place again this year in the Cygnet Room at the Swan Hotel on Maldon High Street. There will be up to 60 real ales and ciders to choose from and hot food will be available throughout the festival. The venue is close to bus stops in central Maldon as well as being accessible by bus from Chelmsford, Witham, South Woodham Ferrers or Colchester stations.

The festival opens at 12noon on Wednesday 2 April and is open until 11pm daily, except for Saturday, when we close early. Admission is free for CAMRA members and £2 for non-members, but if you join on the day, you'll get 2 free pints! The souvenir festival glass costs £2. We are a cashless event, all beer is purchased using beer cards. There will be a small bar in the main hall and the Swan will be open every day during the festival.
