Entry

Raise a glass and get ready for a full day of flavour, music, and festival buzz at Racked & Tapped, returning on Saturday 25th July 2026 at Newport Salop Rugby Club, Shropshire. This hugely popular beer festival has sold out in previous years, so securing tickets early is essential. Expect a lively atmosphere under the marquee, rain or shine, with an unbeatable selection of drinks, street food, and live entertainment. Tickets are available here.

Racked & Tapped is brought to you by Red Rooster Events Ltd, a Shropshire‑based team known for delivering high‑quality pop‑up festivals and community events across the region.

The festival is also proudly supported by a range of local businesses through its Cask Sponsorship programme, showcasing strong community involvement.


The Event

Racked & Tapped is all about exceptional drinks, delicious food, and all‑day entertainment. Festival‑goers can enjoy:

  • Over 28 cask ales, 12 traditional ciders, and a selection of craft keg beers and lagers

  • A dedicated Gin, Pimms & Fizz Bar for those who prefer something lighter and refreshing

  • A lineup of street food vendors serving festival favourites throughout the day

  • Live music from afternoon into the evening, creating a vibrant, feel‑good atmosphere

Whether you’re a beer enthusiast, a foodie, or simply looking for a great day out with friends, Racked & Tapped delivers a full festival experience packed with flavour and fun. The Reggulites will be joining this brilliant festival with some sunset reggae vibes.
