Four beer festivals are held throughout the year, each offering 20 beers. Additionally, the Ferry Tavern is famous for its annual music festival “Glastonferry”. This event is held in July and features local bands and regionally well known tribute acts. To the right of the bar, a quiet lounge features photographs and information about the pub's 250 year history, mostly compiled by present licensee Andy.
