This autumn 2025, Brixton Village in Brixton, London will debut its first-ever Beer & Wine Festival, offering residents and visitors a month-long celebration of local flavors, music, and community spirit.
The wine festival runs from 2nd to 28th September, organized by Fables & Company in partnership with Brixton Village and its neighbourhood wine bar, Finch. It aims to demystify wine and offer a welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy. Weekly free mini wine fairs will take place every Sunday in the Brixton Village Courtyard, culminating in a grand finale on 28th September, which will spill out into Market Row. Expect tastings, special offers, and meet‑the‑maker moments with producers like Henners, London Cru, and Graft.
Live music, curated by Brixton Village Lates and Handson Family Music, will infuse each weekend with vibrant local tunes.
A Festival Pack, priced at £3, grants access to discounts such as 25% off glasses of wine at Finch and offers exclusive promotions at venues like The Laundry, Vining Street Wine Club, Guzzl, Courtesan, and Cavavin. Plus, 50p from each pack supports Wild’s Club, helping fund kitchen and living garden projects in Brixton schools.
From 1st October to 2nd November, the spotlight shifts to the Beer Festival, mirroring the wine’s format with local breweries, Sunday courtyard fairs (on the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th), discounts, and a charitable component. Participating venues include Finch Hideaway, Kraft, The Laundry, Craft, Guzzl, Harlem, Supercute, The Joint, and Henge.
Andrew Gray, founder of Fables & Company, shared, “This festival is about more than just wine, it’s about Brixton… bringing people together over a glass of something delicious, while also giving back to the place we love.”.
