• July 21, 2026


Saturday 8th August 2026 | From 12pm Until Late
If you love incredible craft beer, smoked wings and live music, make sure you keep Saturday 8th August free because we're bringing all three together for our very first Beer, Wing & Music Festival at Mary Lou's Smokehouse & Craft Bar in Ripley.
From midday until late, we're filling Mary Lou's with fantastic live music, some of the UK's most exciting craft breweries, mountains of our famous smoked wings and the lively atmosphere that makes a day (and night) at Mary Lou's unforgettable.
Whether you're joining us for lunch, staying all afternoon or dancing into the evening, this is one event you won't want to miss.
Craft Beer Festival
Alongside our usual favourites behind the bar, we'll be welcoming a fantastic selection of craft beers and ales from some of the country's best independent breweries.
Featured breweries include:

- AZVEX Brewing Company
- DEYA Brewing Company
- Verdant Brewing Co.

...with even more available on the day.

Whether you're already a craft beer enthusiast or looking to try something new, you'll find plenty worth raising a glass to.
