WHAT
These Hills is an intimate, carefully curated two day beer festival taking place at Glynde Place in the South Downs National Park on the 9 and 10 August.
During the event, you'll have access to limited edition world class beer from a dreamy line-up of our favourite international and UK breweries. Alongside incredible beer, we’re serving-up delicious street-food and live music as well as low intervention wine, mead and cider from some of the UK’s finest producers. 

ACCOMMODATION
Lewes is popular with tourists, so hotels and B&Bs tend to get booked-up quickly – so, if you’re looking to stay for the weekend, please book something asap.
