Oxhey Village's beer festival is to return for 2025, with six Watford-area pubs confirmed for the "biggest ever" staging of the event.

Taking place on June 28, the Brewfest is billed as "a celebration of local brews" and will return for another year in 2025.

Organised by the Oxhey Village Environment Group, with the support of Oxhey Village Brewery, the day will allow punters to enjoy ale testing, food, music and entertainment at a half-dozen pubs from the area.

The six pubs confirmed to be taking part are:

  • The Load of Hay, Pinner Road, Watford
  • The Railway Arms, Aldenham Road, Bushey
  • The Rifle Volunteer, Villiers Road, Oxhey
  • The Royal Oak, Watford Heath
  • The Victoria, Chalk Hill, Bushey
  • The Villiers Arms, Villiers Road, Oxhey

In January, The Royal Oak's Tim and Michael Harman told the Watford Observer's pub of the week series that they were hoping to put on an event of this kind in conjunction with other pubs in the area.

Rob Kirby, Deputy Chair of Oxhey Village Environment Group, said: "Brewfest has continued to grow in popularity and this year it will take place in all six of our local pubs.

"At a time when many hospitality businesses are struggling to make ends meet, it's encouraging to see our local pubs are continuing to thrive. We're delighted to have organised the event alongside our friends at Oxhey Village Brewery, so the community can come together over a fabulous pint of local brew."

Organisers say that more details about the event will be announced soon.
