Beltie Beer Festival
One-day family-friendly real-ale and craft beer festival at Dumfries Rugby Club’s Park Farm ground, in aid of Dumfries Saints RFC. Ten-plus Scottish breweries plus live music.
Dumfries’ main craft beer day out — a friendly rugby-club fundraiser with a strong line-up of Scottish craft brewers, family welcome.
Outdoor in June — bring layers; some marquee shelter.
Tickets & pricing
Festival entry; pay-as-you-go beer
Visitor tips
- Bring ID even if you look over 25 — they card at the gate
- Tickets are available on the door but sell out the year prior — book online if you can
- Combine with a Dumfries weekend — Crichton Estate gardens and Drumlanrig Castle nearby
Getting there
- Note
- Park Farm, New Abbey Road, Dumfries DG2 7LU — 10-min drive from Dumfries town centre.
Small but well-run festival — the Saints RFC volunteers know what they’re doing and the brewer line-up is regional Scotland heavy (Kilderkin, Sulwath, Eden Mill etc. in recent years).
