Sips & Sounds 2025

🍻 SIPS & SOUNDS IS HAPPENING! 🍻

We genuinely didn’t think we’d get to say this... but against all odds, Sips & Sounds is happening! After the wild success of last year (remember that sunburn?!) we knew we had to try.

And so… we fought. Through financial stress, newborn nights, and all the chaos that comes with running a pub. Bel’s even come back from maternity leave months early to organise it, because that’s how much it matters!

This year it feels like more than just a festival. It’s a celebration of everything we’ve built, survived, and held onto. It’s a big, loud shout of “we made it!"

Expect fab local music, real ales, proper cider, good beer and a big Swan-shaped hug to everyone who’s supported us.

We’ve earned this, this is the stuff we LOVE doing the most. So come raise your pint, bring your mates and be a part of this mad little community we've built.
