Ventnor Botanic Garden is delighted to announce that this year’s Hops Festival will be held from Friday 25th to Sunday 28th September.

The Hops Festival celebrates the harvest of the hops grown on site at VBG as well as the continuation of the tradition of picking them by hand. After all the hops have been carefully picked, they are then dried and brewed into our Original Botanic Ale by our local brewery, Yates or are kept green, frozen and brewed into our new Limited Edition Botanic Pale Ale by Goddards, another local brewery.

During the day and evening, entertainment for all ages, sizzling barbecue and live music with local performers will help to set the merry atmosphere and ensure the celebrations of this year’s harvest continue in style.
