Alconbury Weald Beer Festival
Friday 27 – Sunday 29 June 2025
This ever-popular summer Beer Festival returns for another exciting weekend at The Pavilion & Watch Office Green in Alconbury Weald. With extended opening hours this year, the festival has evolved into a fantastic local celebration of craft beer, artisan cider, and carefully selected regional wines and gins. In partnership with the renowned Wheatsheaf Brewery, this year’s event features some of the region’s finest brews, including favourites from Papworth Brewery, Briarbank, and Nene Valley. For those who prefer something other than beer, there are plenty of ciders, wines, spirits, and soft drinks, complemented by tasty street-food-style snacks prepared fresh by The Watch Office Bar & Kitchen team. Your £5 ticket includes your first drink, served in a commemorative festival glass, a lovely keepsake to take home. Getting to the event is effortless: stroll or cycle along Alconbury Weald’s landscaped pathways, hop on the convenient shuttle buses, or simply drive and park for free on-site. With live music, community spirit, and good company guaranteed, it’s set to be a highlight of the summer.
Stotfold Library – Saturday Clubbing
Every Saturday
If you’re looking for family-friendly activities this weekend, Stotfold Library has you covered. Two vibrant clubs run every Saturday, offering engaging activities perfect for children and parents alike. The popular Pokémon Club, held from 10 am until noon, invites fans of the classic trading cards and games to swap, trade, and play in a relaxed and welcoming environment. It’s a wonderful place to connect with other families and watch young collectors share their enthusiasm. Running alongside the Pokémon Club, the Lego & Duplo Club from 10 am to 3 pm allows children of all ages to drop in and create. With buckets of Lego and Duplo bricks on offer, this creative session provides hours of imaginative fun. Both clubs are entirely free and require no booking—simply drop in and enjoy.
