New Introducing Stage to Showcase Rising Talent at Beers in the Barn
Beers in the Barn is about to get even bigger! Barn Door Events is thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new Introducing Stage, giving rising musicians a spotlight and festival-goers even more reasons to dance, sing, and discover new sounds.
We’ve partnered with Casemates Studios to turn up the volume for 2026.
Casemates Studios plays a vital role in supporting grassroots music, providing an accessible space where emerging artists can create, rehearse, and record. By nurturing local talent and fostering collaboration, the studios help musicians at the start of their journey build confidence, develop their sound, and connect with their communities.
This new stage is designed as a discovery zone. Expect a mix of genres, fresh faces, and electric performances of up-and-coming artists all enclosed within our even bigger real ale and cider tent. The Introducing Stage reinforces Barn Door Events’ commitment to supporting grassroots talent and ensuring that music stays at the heart of Beers in the Barn.
How much music?

Alongside the already announced 4 live bands on our main stage, the all new Introducing Stage will bring another 10 original acts to Beers in the Barn! That means you’ll now get access to 7 live bands per session.
Community has always been the heartbeat of Barn Door Events. From day one, the festival has been about more than beer—it’s been about bringing people together, celebrating local culture, and creating memories that last long after the last song fades. By expanding its live music offering, Barn Door Events is doubling down on its promise to support local creatives, strengthen community bonds, and keep music alive at the center of its celebrations.
Hosted in the rustic charm of its signature barn setting, Beers in the Barn has become a staple of the local events calendar. Each year, beer lovers, families, and music fans gather to sample the best craft brews, taste incredible street food, and soak up the warm, welcoming atmosphere that only Barn Door Events can deliver. The festival’s reputation has grown not just because of the quality of its drinks but because of the way it brings people together through shared experiences.
Beyond the new stage, Beers in the Barn will continue to showcase an exceptional line-up of craft beers from independent breweries, alongside top-tier street food vendors. With the rustic barn backdrop, outdoor spaces, and vibrant atmosphere, attendees can look forward to a festival experience that pairs incredible flavours with unforgettable sounds.
Beers in the Barn returns on 25th April 2026 at The Black Barn. Tickets are available now at https://bigblackshed.com/events/beers-in-the-barn-2026. Follow Barn Door Events on social media for artist announcements, food line-ups, and more surprises.
