Full Circle Fest 2026

Full Circle Fest is back for the third year, after the roaring success of the past 2 events. The fest will be taking place on the 18th and 19th of September 2025.


There will be 3 sessions across the weekend, each lasting 5 hours and there will be different beers pouring across all 3. So each session will have a variety of new and exciting beers to try should you wish to attend more than one session.


Your ticket secures you entry for the session of your choosing, your commemorative FCF branded glassware and a free 1/3 of Full Circle beer upon arrival. While you're at the festival you can purchase beers from any brewery of your choosing using our system. This is the perfect chance for any beer lover to sample from various breweries up and down the UK.
