Is it possible to host a beer garden event in bad weather?
It is! While beer gardens are most popular for summer parties, many of them have facilities that allow you to celebrate even in the classic English weather. Some venues have overhead coverings, roofing, or patio umbrellas to cover their guests from rainfall and snowfall, as well as outdoor heaters that are brought out when it gets a little chilly. Another option is hiring a venue that has indoor space - this way your party can simply move inside if the weather becomes unbearable!
