The Point at Polzeath launched the Polzeath Beer Festival in 2013 as a small charity event with live music showcasing mainly local bands, family entertainment and of course a range of beverages. Becoming a huge hit straight away with beer selling out on the opening night – the event has doubled in size since the beginning. Over the last 5 years (6 events) we are very proud to have raised in excess of £12,000 for a number of charities. The 2019 Polzeath Beer and Music Festival will support and raise funds for the Cornwall Hospice Care, a charity that provides specialist care for people with terminal illnesses in the duchy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Polzeath Beer Festival 2018 Roundup After a tropical June and July the weather just had to change in time for our 6th Annual Beer Festival gusty winds and rain duly arrived, but once again it did not stop the crowds from coming along to sample some great beers and listen to some fabulous music. Friday night’s entertainment kicked off with Me and The Devil, which was a great toe tapping start to the festival. Our great food and drink stalls smiled despite the elements and produced some gorgeous food and drinks for the festival revellers. The bands continued through the evening with Citizen Smith rocking out some classic tunes, Echo Town bought the didgerdoo and some funky beats, followed by an all singing and dancing (quite literally) finish by Tankslapper. Our overnight security team were kept busy in the early hours of Saturday morning saving various gazebos that tried to take flight to Polzeath Beach in the gale force winds… that however did not stop George setting up his Kinsford Champagne stall again on the Saturday…a great effort. Saturday’s sell out golf competition started in sunshine, but was interrupted by some showers but fun was had by all 112 golfers. Congratulations to Chris Jennings and his team on winning the competition. John Thorpe started off Saturday with his didge, followed by some Cornish Folk music by Will Keating. There was plenty of Bio-Glitter courtesy of the lovely Lauren Taylor to keep the festival spirit going as well as some rather funky circus training for the children (and some adults!). The Stowes carried on the music and they did not disappoint with their lively Cornish tunes. Josh Curnow kept the momentum going with some well-known tunes and his truly fantastic original song pieces. The Roustabouts wowed the crowds with their funky songs and epic moves, followed by local band Grizzly Millions who got the crowd jumping, while Backbeat Soundsystem rounded off a great day in style. We would like to thank all the bands, St Austell Brewery, Tarquins Gin, Knightor Wines, Sauce Cocktail Bar, Fizz Fellas, Kinsford Champagne, Rise and Grind and Elseafood for coming along and supporting us. A big thank you to Foz Foster for the staging, Alive Music for once again looking after all the bands and doing a fabulous job, all bar staff and staff at The Point for working so hard, friends and family that leant a hand through the weekend – it would not be possible without you all! Another thank you to all that donated to our wonderful raffle. This helped raise in excess of £2000 which is just amazing. The funds raised will be going to Cornwall Community Foundation Trust and the Anaphylaxsis Campaign, see links below. Over the last 6 years we have raised in excess of £12,000 for some great causes, which is terrific achievement and a huge credit to all in the community. Thank you to you all for coming and your continued support and we hope to see you all soon.
