Kenilworth Rugby Club and Warwick District Council present KENFEST, a family friendly beer and music festival for the whole community to enjoy.

KENFEST will run from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th April 2023 at Kenilworth Rugby Club. It will feature a range of real ales, lagers and ciders from far and wide - plus craft gins and sparkling wines - along with street food and a variety of live music over the weekend. 

Speaking at the event launch, Kenilworth RFC Chairman, Johnny Marsh said,

‘It feels really good to finally break-cover with this event; it’s been on ice for nearly two years, having originally been postponed due to the Pandemic. Over time, we hope the beer festival will become a mainstay in the town calendar and sit favourably alongside established events such as the fireworks and carnival; like those events, we hope to raise significant funds for local charities.’

Warwick District Council is helping to get the festival off the ground, Councillor Richard Hales, added,

‘I applaud the rugby club’s ambition and community spirit; the plans look really exciting, there is something for everyone with beer, music, street-food and more. We will help the festival organisers where we can by opening up our network of local contacts and suppliers.’

The first sponsor to sign up in support of KENFEST is Kenilworth Rugby Club’s lead sponsor Bromwich Hardy. Speaking on behalf of the award-winning, independent commercial property agency, Bromwich Hardy founding partner Tom Bromwich said,

‘I am delighted to be able to continue our partnership with Kenilworth Rugby Club and help bring this exciting event to the people of Kenilworth and surrounding areas.’

Anyone interested in sponsoring the event please contact Jai Purewal at dor@kenilworthrugby.co.uk or call 07968 135 023.

More information will be released in the coming weeks; please keep an eye on the Kenilworth RFC and Warwick District Council websites, Kenilworth Vibes and other social media platforms for more details.
