The ultimate Spring Bank Holiday weekend has arrived in Easton on the Hill! The Blue Bell Pub is currently hosting a massive five-day music, beer, and community festival. Running from Thursday 21st May through to Monday 25th May 2026, this spectacular neighborhood takeover combines great drinks, live music, and family entertainment, all to raise vital funds for local causes.
Everything is centered around a massive marquee erected on the pub grounds, ensuring that rain or shine, the party stays alive.
While the festival kicked off on Thursday with a packed-out Pub Quiz and rocked Friday night to the soulful sounds of the Motor City Vipers, there is still an incredible amount of action lined up for the main holiday weekend:
Sunday 24th May: The Mahoosive Beer & Music Festival
13:00 - 23:00 | Live Music Marathon: This is the crown jewel of the weekend! Prepare for ten solid hours of non-stop, live music under the marquee. Best of all, entry is completely free.
The stacked Sunday music lineup features a brilliant mix of local talent and crowd favorites:
Made in PE1
Five Day Weekend
Resurgence
The Expletives
Last Minute Brigade
High Point Players
The Nuggets
To keep you hydrated while dancing, the pub is opening an expansive drink menu featuring over 30 real ales and ciders, alongside a dedicated Gin and Wine bar.
Monday 25th May: Traditional Village Fete & "Winter Olympics"
11:00 - 12:30 | The Fun Dog Show: Bring your four-legged friends along! Registration opens at 10:00, so make sure your pups are looking their best.
12:00 - 16:00 | Village Fete & Craft Market: Browse a gorgeous selection of local craft stalls and enjoy classic family entertainment. Keep an eye out for the highly anticipated and likely hilarious Easton Winter Olympics community games!
Food, Drink, & Local Support
You won’t go hungry over the long weekend, as excellent food and drink options are available throughout the entirety of the festival.
Community festivals like this don't happen without a village coming together. The organizers have extended a huge thank you to local business sponsors who helped make the marquee and setup possible: Richardsons Estate Agents, Messenger BCR, Sharmans of Stamford, and Alltech.
Sunday Timings: 13:00 – 23:00 (Music & Beer Festival)
Monday Timings: 11:00 – 16:00 (Dog Show & Fete)
Location: The Blue Bell Pub, High Street, Easton on the Hill, PE9 3LR
Admission: Free entry for the main festival, beer tent, and Monday fete.
Head on down to the High Street this weekend to support local fundraising, sample some incredible regional ales, and celebrate the Bank Holiday in style
