The Sheffield culture guide written by in-the-know locals

Indie Beer Feast returns in March 2026, kicking off another Sheffield Beer Week in style by giving you two days to sample a bunch of brilliant beers and fantastic street food.

Organised by the folk behind the specialist beer shop Hop Hideout, the event will bring together breweries from near and far – including local heroes and the breweries behind some of the best-loved beers from across the country – alongside natural wines, fine cider and delicious street food.

Keep an eye on the Indie Beer Feast site for updates on details there for 2026.
