October 2 – October 4
Hastings Tap Takeover is back this October, bringing a weekend of exceptional beer and lively atmosphere to the Sussex coast. This much-loved annual event celebrates the very best independent breweries from across the UK and beyond, transforming Hastings and neighbouring St Leonards into one large, town-wide beer festival.
Across multiple venues – from cosy pubs and seafront bars to independent taprooms – each host throws open its doors and hands over the taps to a specially selected brewery for the entire weekend. The result is a unique showcase of brewing talent, with carefully curated pours, limited editions and brewery favourites all under one roof. It’s a rare opportunity to meet the makers, discover new styles and enjoy fresh beer at its best.
Set against the backdrop of Hastings historic Old Town and vibrant coastal streets, the Tap Takeover offers more than just great drinks. Expect a buzzing atmosphere, friendly faces and a real celebration of the town’s thriving independent scene.
Whether you’re a seasoned craft beer enthusiast or simply curious to try something new, Hastings Tap Takeover promises a memorable weekend of flavour, community and coastal charm. Cheers to that!
