Award-Winning Brews for an Award-Winning Festival!

We are raising a glass to our friends at the Charlbury Riverside Festival, who have just been named the Best Regional Celebration of Local Talent (South East England) in the UK Enterprise Awards!

Charlbury Riverside Festival; really is the friendliest of family festivals

As the official beer supplier for the festival bar, Hook Norton Brewery is incredibly proud to partner with an event that shares our values of community, quality, and local heritage. For 30 years, Riverside has remained a completely free-to-attend event, ensuring that everyone can enjoy great music and a great atmosphere without financial barriers.

More Than Just Music

The festival isn’t just about the tunes (and the beer!); it’s a vital platform for the next generation of talent. By providing a stage for young and emerging musicians to perform alongside established acts, Riverside helps kickstart professional careers in the music industry.

A Shared Commitment

At Hook Norton, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously, so we are thrilled to support a festival that is a committed advocate for sustainability. From responsible supplier choices to greener event practices, Riverside is leading the way for community events in the South East.

“Supporting talent development is not an add-on to what we do — it is one of our founding principles.”
— Andy Pickard, Charlbury Riverside Festival Team
