- Peelfest Six
Saturday 5 – Sunday 6 September 2026
Sir William Peel, Sandy
Sixth "Peelfest" - a beer, cider, music and fun packed weekend - at the Sir William Peel in Sandy, CAMRA's reigning Bedfordshire Pub of the Year 2026. The event is organised with The Sandy Guild to raise money for St John's Hospice and Biggleswade, Potton and Sandy First Responders. Last year an impressive sum was raised for charity and we hope the generosity of local people will boost the funds of these worthy causes again this year.
Live music on Saturday: The Acoustic Stage opens at 1pm with The Biggleswade Barnacles The Main Stage closes with Ouse Valley Singles Club with plenty of amazing artists in between. The Budders Beats Stage will again be hosting Roll Your Own Records.
