Largely due to the early Easter bank holiday, there are fewer April beer festivals than usual. It's likely, however, that more pubs will announce St George's Day celebrations nearer the time - if you know of any please post them in the comments!
4-6 April
The Angel, Hayes. A range of 10 guest ales will be on offer at the pub's third beer festival, which features live music every night.
Bexley Beer Festival, Old Dartfordians Sports Club. Based at a new venue, the eighth Bexley Beer Festival features more than 65 ales and ciders, as well as hot food and snacks. Entry is £2.50 or £1.50 for CAMRA members, and you can find opening times and a beer list on the website.
