Fal Beer Fest takes over the Princess Pavilion and Gyllyngdune Gardens from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 September 2026. This year’s event extends to three days, with more than 100 beers and ciders alongside live music, DJs, comedy and street food.
The drinks selection draws on independent producers in Cornwall and elsewhere in the UK, plus nine international beers. Expect a range of styles, from cask bitters and pilsners to hop-led ales, sours and stouts. Choose a few styles to compare rather than trying to work through the whole list, and leave time for food between tastings.
The venue
The Princess Pavilion is at 41 Melvill Road, with covered and outdoor seating in the gardens. Falmouth Town station is a short walk away, making rail worth considering if you are drinking. Check the service home before setting out and keep the ticket’s session details to hand.
This is a separate event from Falmouth’s food and oyster festivals. Use the Fal Beer Fest booking link and check which day or session your ticket covers; the three-day festival dates do not by themselves describe an individual ticket’s validity.
A Falmouth weekend
Gyllyngvase Beach and the town centre are nearby options for time outside the festival. For an overnight stay, compare Falmouth accommodation and use the town guide to plan the rest of your visit. Confirm ticket availability before booking travel around a particular session.
