Festival layout:

Rascals HQ main venue and restaurant, with barrels and stools, some seating, pizza and bar service, and DJ sets.

Rascals Beer Garden just out front of the main venue. Partially covered with waterproof and heated tent, plus benches, barrels and stools.

The Terrace is a small area of bench tables just off the beer garden. This area has some parasols but isn't covered.

The Avenue is an enclosed laneway, running parallel to Rascals and The Yard, where you'll find all the food trucks and some seating too. Spacious, chilled, groovy vibes man.

Brewer's Lane is a small area at the back of the brewery, between Rascals and The Yard, where you can go and do your shifting. Ha ha just kidding... or are we? Some seating and general chilling can be had. And okay fine, a bit of shifting if you really must.

The Yard is right next to the main venue and it'll house all the guest breweries and DJs too. Seating, beers, tunes, merch and a fab atmosphere. (The Yard will be a cashless vending area: cards only in this area, please and thanks.)

Breweries and guest taps:
