Join us for our Spring Gathering on 3 May for our biggest plans yet! Spring is in the air, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with fantastic beer, delicious food, great company, and a vibrant atmosphere! That’s four times the excitement!
This is our biggest event of the year, and we love both the planning stages and the big day itself. It’s no lie that every year we get a little nervous about the weather forecast, as this is mainly an outdoor event due to the number of Vibrant followers attending. One of the main reasons for moving the event from its usual March date to May is the increased possibility of warmer and hopefully drier weather. We will still be erecting a large marquee for you to sit under and to host our guest brewery bar.
When Did All This Start?
Our first-ever Spring Gathering was on 7 March 2020, just days before the COVID-19 lockdown. We managed to squeeze in one last event before the world was devastated by the outbreak.
Kev, our owner, came up with the name “Gathering,” and as far as we know, no other breweries were using this name at the time—at least not locally. We had our designer create a pretty nifty poster with a fun, cartoony feel, and we’ve kept this theme—until now!
We thought this year was the perfect time to freshen up the event branding, as it’s now five years old (where has that time gone?!). We hope you like the new look!
New Gathering Beer Launch!
That’s right—we will be launching a brand-new Gathering beer on the day, available in cans and on tap. We’re really excited about this, and further details will be announced closer to the event.
Why Do
We Love the Gatherings So Much?
Simply put—the fun and satisfaction we get from seeing so many of our great fans enjoying themselves with a drink in hand, savoring delicious food, and chatting with both old and new friends. The atmosphere really is vibrant!
Anything New This Year?
Yes! For the first time, we will have a local brewery bar where we’ll be pouring beers from a selection of breweries not too far from us, such as those in Dorset and Hampshire. You’re likely to see some of the brewers in attendance too, so feel free to have a chat with them!
As mentioned, we will also be launching a brand-new Gathering beer, along with some exclusive Gathering merch on the day.
Where Can I Buy Tickets?
As usual, tickets are available only on our website , and we’re pleased to have kept the price the same as last year—just £8. Following the popularity of the early bird tickets, general sale tickets are also selling quickly, so don’t wait too long to grab yours!
As with all our ticketed events at the brewery, there are no physical tickets, so please bring a copy of your email confirmation and show it at the entrance.
🚨 Please remember: This is an over-18s event.
Come along, raise a Vibrant glass, and welcome some great weather with us. See you there! 🍻
