From who’ll be playing to how the beer tokens work.
So, what can I expect at the festival?
You’ll be treated to servings of 150ml so that you can try as many of the 70 beers as possible. We’ll also have a front bar for those who want to relax with a full 330ml out in the Wild Atlantic sunshine.
You can buy these with tokens. Our token system is dead simple – €2.50 per token, 1 token per drink. Tokens also used for food, swag, take out and tipping. The entire festival is token payment and we ask attendees to only pay through debit/credit card please!
All profits generated from tickets this year will go to a local Sligo charity. Your ticket will get you access, a guide, a glass, drink tokens, entertainment and a free train ride back to Sligo. You’ll get over 8 hours of access to beers not poured here before, in the company of the brewers who make the beer. Amazing. You wouldn’t see it on the radio….
As beautiful as Ballymote is, we won’t leave you stranded! Through our friends in Irish Rail, the train will return and collect us all on the Saturday night to transport us all to Sligo for the Beer Crawl at 9.40pm.
We have a cracking line up of local and national acts to see. We’ll also be bringing in some amateur DJ’s who moonlight as professional brewers… watch this space.. We’ll also be hosting the Irish traditional act known as the Strawboys, who make their only ever summer appearances at HAGSTRAVAGANZA.
So grab yourself some tickets before they are gone!
