Ventnor Exchange’s Beer Tasting Nights are back!

On these evenings we carefully pick a selection of beers which showcase a range of styles relevant to the season. We’ll often bring in some very rare or unusual brews especially for the occasion.

We’ve got a selection of very special and rare festive beers for you to try, imported especially for the occasion. Booking is available for tables of two, four or six and includes all beers, cheese boards and snacks. We also encourage everyone to rate each beer to find the session champion !

Spaces are extremely limited so don’t miss out!

Saturday 23rd December 2023 – 8pm – 10pm 
Cost £25pp  18+  (Booking is via our webstore instead of our normal box office as this event is run by our bar)
