The sold out signs are up!

The eagerly-awaited Hitchin Beer and Cider Festival has seen all tickets snapped up by thirsty punters keen to attend this month's event.

The popular festival will be hosted at its home of the last few years, Hitchin Rugby Club, based at King George V Playing Fields off Old Hale Way and is brought to the town in association with Lyndhurst Financial Management.

After not being able to have a festival in 2020 due to the pandemic, 2021's event is set to run between September 23 and September 25.

Organisers said: "All tickets for this year's Hitchin Beer and Cider Festival have been sold.

"The only way to get in is to volunteer."

The event will have Real Ale, Real Cider, KeyKeg, International Beers and Mead in five sessions.
