As in the previous year, the beer festival was run in conjunction with The White Hart Tap (in nearby Keyfield Terrace) to become the 2nd Lion-Hart Beer Festival. The extensive range (see below) of beers and ciders was split between the two pubs and the Festival ran from Friday night at 6pm through to late Monday night. There was a barbecue all weekend (including Friday evening) and BSV Jazz played in the White Lion garden on Sunday.

In addition to the Beer Festival, The White Lion and White Hart Tap hosted the Lion-Hart Music Festival on the Monday, the 31st, in aid of Grove House (charity registration 1003462) and Baobab Creative Arts Therapies (CIC 06280671).
