A charity beer festival held in Newquay went down a treat.

Hundreds of people poured in to attend the 11th Newquay Beer Festival at Hendra Holiday Park between September 20 and 22.

There were 100 beers and ciders to choose including Daleside Bitter, Oakham JHB and Treen’s Classic, which were donated by individuals and businesses to raise money for various good causes. Chrissie’s Sunshine Bar served Cornish gin and chilled fizz.

There was various live music throughout the weekend, which included headliners Substitute, Rudi’s Message and One for the Road. 

Other performers entertaining the crowds were Rachel Best, The Fallout, Nell Davies, Raymundo, Oll an Gwella, Bow River Band and Humungadunga’s.

Artists who attend Newquay Studios in Bank Street also took part in a student stage takeover.

The Newquay Beer Festival, which is organised by Towan Blystra Lions Club, has raised more than £100,000 for charities over the years.

Lion Phil Bunt said: “The 11th Newquay Beer Festival was yet another success, raising thousands of pounds for local good causes.

“The festival brought together beer enthusiasts, locals, and visitors from across the country to enjoy a celebration of fantastic brews, live music, and community spirit.

“The lively atmosphere was made even better by a fantastic lineup of local bands, creating an unforgettable weekend of entertainment in the heart of Cornwall. Other Lions clubs from the district joined in helping serve the beers and ciders.

“This year Newquay Towan Blystra Lions was once again overwhelmed by the generous support of our sponsors, who made the event possible.

“We would like to extend a huge thank you to Hendra Holiday Park who once again hosted us, the numerous musicians who played free of charge and all our amazing sponsors for their incredible contributions. T

“Their support, along with the efforts of countless volunteers who gave their time freely, has helped us raise vital funds that will directly benefit numerous local charities and initiatives.”

Newquay Towan Blystra President Heather Stanley added: “We’re incredibly proud of how the festival has grown and the positive impact it continues to have on the community.

“The generosity of our sponsors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the enthusiastic support from everyone who attended means that once again, we’ll be able to make a real difference to those in need in Newquay and beyond.”

Susan Perrin, Chrissie Jackson’s sister, said: “It is fantastic to see all of Newquay coming together to support the Lion’s amazing charities that they support year on year including Chrissie’s Sunshine Appeal.

“This has really helped to keep the Sunshine Appeal going so her family are really pleased.

“Newquay and the people of Newquay are very special in our hearts.”
