The twenty fifth CAMRA Bristol Beer & Cider Festival will run from Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th November 2024 at City Hall, College Green, Bristol. There will be a carefully chosen selection of over 70 different real ales on sale over the course of the festival as well as a range of around 30 ciders and perries.
The festival is organised and run by volunteer members from the Bristol & District branch of CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale.
Tickets are on sale now at: https://tckty.camra.org.uk/e/281/camra-bristol-beer-cider-festival-2024
Bristol & District CAMRA branch chair Richard Brooks said:
“Our beer festival has always stocked cider and perry alongside the beer and we thought that it was time for the name of the event to reflect this. So we have renamed it from the Bristol Beer Festival to the Bristol Beer & Cider Festival.
This year will be our 25th branch festival since we started them back in 1997 and we continue to tweak the range of beers to offer a good selection of styles from our local breweries and those further afield.
We do have some advantages over commercially run beer festivals. Not only do we offer customers better value for money, but they get the great experience of being served by a fellow enthusiast who has volunteered to be there. Following last year’s festival we invited customers to complete a survey and in the feedback received there was much praise for the sociable atmosphere and our friendly, helpful staff.
Tickets for all sessions include £5 worth of beer festival tokens, which customers will receive on entry enabling them to go straight to the bar. Also included are a festival programme and commemorative glass.
We strongly advise keeping an eye on our website www.camrabristol.org.uk as this will feature further beer festival information including updates about ticket availability and the beer and cider lists as they become available.”
