Top club and music venue Printworks is set to close at the start of May and will go on hiatus before reopening in a new venue in 2024. You can say goodbye to the current venue in style – there's a huge craft beer festival on over 5th and 6th May that'll be a huge treat if you love beer, food, and tunes. 

Brew//LDN is the UK's largest craft beer and independent drinks festival and the 2023 event is the fourth to be held. This year promises to be bigger and more exciting than ever with more than 100 craft breweries and independent drinks producers offering a diverse range of drinks from traditional IPAs to fruity lagers, cider, wine, and spirits. Some top London breweries you can expect to see are Renegade, Hackney Church Brew Co, and Four Pure.

It's not only the drinks that are worth getting excited about here – there's loads of food to enjoy at the festival too, including veggie, vegan, and gluten-free treats. You'll find a big choice of premium street food to soak up all the alcohol, plus great music across both days, including from legendary DJs Norman Jay and Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy. Last year the festival had 12,000 attendees so if you want to try delicious drinks and food and bid farewell to Printworks, you'd better grab your tickets.
