Change is Brewing with Friends 2026

Event information

Oxford’s multi award-winning social enterprise, brewery, bakery, and hospitality organisation Tap Social Movement proudly presents CHANGE IS BREWING WITH FRIENDS 2026, a family (and dog!) friendly all-day celebration of community, independent beer, music, and food.

Tap Social hosts Change is Brewing every summer to bring folks together in a fun, safe, and inclusive environment while enjoying some of the good things in life. For the festival's fifth anniversary edition we’ve invited 11 of our favourite breweries from across the UK to pour their freshest and tastiest beers… and that’s not all.

For the first time, Tap Social teams up with 10 of those breweries to brew 10 special collaboration beers that will debut on draught at the festival. Wowsa wowsa!
