OCCA AGM Eve Social: Phipps Brewery Tour

Join OCCA on Wednesday 9 September 2026 for a special AGM Eve Social at Phipps Brewery in Northampton. We have arranged an exclusive private tour of the brewery from 6.00pm to 10.00pm, including the opportunity to sample a selection of Phipps ales, learn about the brewing process, explore the tunnels and cellars beneath the building, and see the historic Kings Well. Tickets are £25 per person and include the full brewery tour and a meal, with a choice of pie and mash or chilli and rice. Vegan options will also be available for non-meat-eating guests. The bar will be closed to the public for the evening, giving OCCA exclusive use of the venue. The tour will begin promptly at 6.00pm. For colleagues unable to attend the tour itself, there will be the opportunity to join the group in the bar for refreshments from 9.00pm onwards, after food has been served. This is a chance to relax, catch up with colleagues and friends, and help give Elizabeth and Ann-Marie a warm send-off while welcoming Nikki as OCCA’s incoming President. Places are strictly limited to 30, so early booking is recommended.
