We are introducing our very first St Helens Festival of Pubs this summer, sponsored by SSO Logistics. From 20 to 25 August 2025, there will be a celebration of community, cask ale, and pub culture across St Helens.
The St Helens Festival of Pubs will bring the town to life with over 30 events spread across some of St Helens’ best-loved pubs, including:
🎶 Live Music Performances
♟️ Chess Tournaments
🗺️ CAMRA’s Legendary Pub Treasure Hunt
🍺 Meet the Brewer Sessions
🧠 Pub Quizzes
🎉 And much more!
Participating pubs include the Cowley Vaults, Cricketers Arms, George, Glass House, The Lamb, Little George Quarter, Royal Alfred, The Sefton, Tipsy Tap, and Turks Head (all subject to change or amends).
Festival-goers will also have the chance to sample over 50 real ales from more than 25 incredible breweries across the weekend, making this a must-visit event for ale lovers and the ale-curious alike.
A highlight of the festival is the 4th Annual Pub Treasure Hunt, taking place on Sunday, 24 August, meeting at the Turks Head at 12pm. Get your thinking caps on and your spy glasses out — this isn’t your typical pub crawl. Expect a fun-filled, clue-cracking adventure with surprises around every corner.
Special thanks go to the main festival sponsor, SSO Logistics, and to PSD, who are kindly sponsoring the festival beer mats, which will be available at each participating pub. Their generous support helps make this unique community event possible.
The festival is also proud to support Willowbrook Hospice, a vital local charity providing compassionate care for terminally ill patients. Collection points will be available at each participating pub throughout the festival, giving visitors the opportunity to donate and support this essential community cause.
To help visitors stay on top of the action, a live beer board powered by Real Ale Finder will be available throughout the festival on our website, providing real-time updates on which beers are pouring and where.
