Novemberfest 2021
Mold’s Novemberfest is a festival of Real Ale, Real Food and Real Entertainment! This year the ninth Novemberfest will take place from the 12th to 14th November 2021.
The main focal point is in St Mary’s Church Hall, hosting a great selection of real ales, craft beers, real lager, local cider and great wines, accompanied by great food and live music.
This event is organised by Mold Town Council with the support of the local CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) branch, and a group of volunteers. Novemberfest is a not-for-profit festival, all proceeds of the festival go towards putting on other events in the town and a nominated charitable cause.
It’s no surprise that things have to be a little different this year. In line with current recommended guidelines, all sessions will be seated.
As we will be unable to refill glassware, unfortunately no glass will be provided at the festival this year; if you prefer to drink from glassware please do bring your own glass, perhaps you have one from previous years!
