Questa Financial Planning was proud to headline as the main sponsor of this year’s Lytham Beer Festival, which took place from 25–27 July at Lytham Cricket & Sports Club. And what a weekend it turned out to be.

The three-day celebration welcomed hundreds of visitors and proved to be a resounding success, blending local flavour with national brews, live music, street food, and a real sense of community spirit. 

Attendees enjoyed 15 carefully selected beers from across the UK, alongside craft ales, cider, gin and fizz, with drinks from partners including Lytham Hop House and Silent Mill Brewery.

There was something for everyone – from fizz bar fans and real ale aficionados to families soaking up the live sets from bands like The Atticks, Jane Dean, The Tramps and Neon Rain. The addition of a premium gin and fizz bar was particularly well received, appealing to festivalgoers looking for something a little different.

Anthony Hoskisson, Managing Director of Questa Financial Planning, said: “What another wonderful community event! The atmosphere was brilliant – great music, fantastic food, and plenty of friendly faces. It’s everything summer should be, and we were proud to be part of it.”

The diverse food offering – from shawarma and loaded fries to veggie chow mein and pancakes – kept everyone well fed, while the free entry across all three days ensured the festival remained accessible and inclusive.

Once rooted in CAMRA-led tradition, the event has evolved into a relaxed, welcoming celebration of local brewing, live entertainment and good times. With its growing popularity, this year’s festival has firmly cemented itself as a highlight of Lytham’s summer calendar.
