Tailgate Festival 2025,

About the event

The Hideaway Mini Festival is a one-day celebration of music, craft beer, and community taking place on Saturday 30th August 2025 at our independent brewery in MediaCity, Salford.

Timed for the last weekend of the summer holidays and payday weekend, it’s designed to be the final big event of the season — a joyful send-off to summer with live bands, DJs, American Southwest BBQ, and great beer brewed on-site.

With a capacity of just 100, it’s an intimate, welcoming event focused on good vibes and real connections. It’s not just a festival — it’s an experience. We treat every customer like part of the team, and the festival reflects that community-first approach.

Because to us, it’s bigger than beer. This event is about bringing people together, supporting local talent, and creating something memorable for everyone who walks through the gates.

Why should you sponsor?

Supporting the Hideaway Mini Festival means backing more than just a day of music — it means helping create a meaningful community moment at the heart of Salford.

We’re a small, independent team pouring everything into this event. With no big commercial funding behind us, we’re relying on the support of local businesses and likeminded partners to bring it to life. In return, sponsors receive genuine, high-quality visibility: logo placement across printed and digital promo, shout-outs during the event, and the option for physical presence on the day.

But more than exposure, we’re offering alignment with something real. At Hideaway, we believe in people-first experiences. We’re not just selling beer or tickets — we’re building connections that last.

By sponsoring this festival, your brand becomes part of that story — part of a day people will remember. It’s heartfelt, local, and bigger than beer — and we’d love you to be part of it.
