The New Croft in Haverhill, Suffolk, will host its first Haverhill Beer and Gin Festival on June 13, 2026. This summer event is being organised by the Haverhill Community Sports Association (HCSA) and Haverhill Rovers FC to provide a new social gathering for local residents.

The festival will feature a selection of local craft ales and a bar dedicated to gin, along with live music and entertainment for all ages. Organisers are offering tickets at a special community rate to ensure the event remains affordable for families in the area.

This addition to the town’s calendar follows strong attendance at the venue’s recent fireworks display. Organisers said they had noticed a gap in Haverhill’s summer events and decided to use The New Croft grounds to host a community-focused celebration.

The site has grown significantly in recent years with support from the Football Foundation, including investment in a new 3G pitch and a building extension, and with three new padel courts scheduled to open in March 2026. Money raised from the festival will be put back into local youth and health programmes through the New Croft Foundation.
