Bo’ness Real Ale Festival 2026

After another successful Festival last year, it’s all go again!
The Town Hall is booked and beers both ‘old’ and ‘new’ are again being selected!

BraasFest26 – 25 Years Ago!

Friday 9 October & Saturday 10 October
Bo’ness Town Hall
Friday – 5pm to 11pm
Saturday – 12 Noon till 11 pm

It all started 25 years ago as the Bo’ness 400 to celebrate Bo’ness designated as an official port on the upper River Forth in 1601.

But who remembers the celebrations on the foreshore, the Torchlight Procession from the fire station, the Fireworks Display on the foreshore, or having an original Festival glass or any of the support merchandise?

We’ll be asking if anyone still has any of it!
