GETTING to the fest
directions from datchet railway station
The Village Hall is approximately 7 minutes walk from Datchet Railway Station. As you leave the station turn, right into the High Street. Bear right at the first mini roundabout and walk along Horton Road. Pass another mini roundabout (opposite the village green) and carry on past the library on your right and then on to Green Lane also on your right. Allen Way is across the green on the left hand side.
Trains
Run on a half hourly service to and from London Waterloo and Windsor and Eton Riverside.
Parking
A pay and display car park can be found in Horton Road opposite the library. Up until 6pm charges are 10p per hour; free after 6pm.
buses
Bus stops are on both sides of Horton Road, very close to the Village Hall. Local public bus services 60 and 61 operate between Eton Wick, Slough, Datchet, Wraysbury and Heathrow Terminal 5.
HANDY STUFF TO KNOW
Can I buy tickets on the door?
There may be tickets available on the door for the Connoisseurs' Afternoon (1pm-5pm) but Thirsty Friday and The Beerlover's Evening will almost certainly be sold out and only advance purchase of tickets is advised.
Can I pay by debit or credit card during either session of the Datchet Beer Festival?
No (sorry!), so please ensure you arrive with plenty of cash (we like the folding stuff) for your purchases - the nearest cash-point to the Festival is approx 15mins walk.
Is the Festival wheelchair accessible?
Yes, the site is all on one level and we have a ramp to make the hall accessible to wheelchairs and mobility scooters. We also have disabled toilet facilities.
Are children allowed at the Festival?
Well-behaved children are welcome at the Connoisseurs' Afternoon session when accompanied by the ticket-holding adult(s), however children are NOT permitted to attend any of the Evening sessions.
AND FINALLY...
Datchet Beer Festival was started back in 2010; so this is now our 7th year.
This year we will offer our biggest ever selection of beer - over 25 real ales and ciders, most sourced from established and brand new local breweries within just a few miles of Datchet village, and just maybe one or two from a little further afield!
From humble beginnings the 2016 festival is set to be our biggest event yet, with over 500 people expected to attend.
We hope you're one of them and that you have a brilliant time at our festival.
