Pakenham Beer & Music Festival 2026

Get ready for another fantastic day of music, drinks and fun in support of St Nicholas Hospice! Join us on Saturday 23 May 2026 from 1pm to 11pm for a full day of entertainment, laughter, and community spirit. Whether you’re coming for the live music, the tasty food, or simply a brilliant day out with friends and family, there’s something for everyone.

There will be plenty of parking available, and you’re welcome to leave your car at the venue overnight. Delicious food and drink options will be served throughout the day, so please leave picnics and outside drinks at home. Well-behaved dogs are welcome too; we just ask that they are kept on a lead and cleaned up after.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Bands

Starting from when our gates open at 1pm, we’ll have a total of five excellent bands performing throughout the day including local band Cherry Bomb as well as headliners Booty and the Beatz.

Resident DJ and Emcee Lee Ashford will open and close the day.

Beers

We have selected some delicious local Ales from both a mix of major brewers and smaller independents, all based in Suffolk.

Full beer list to be announced soon!
