CAMRA Bristol Beer & Cider Festival 2025

Unfortunately it looks as though it will not be possible to hold the CAMRA Bristol Beer & Cider Festival this year. Discussions continue about using City Hall following some impending changes to how the on-site catering contract will work. However, it has not so far been possible to get firm answers about key factors such as access to facilities and costings that are essential to create our beer festival business plan.

It is still conceivable that the festival may return to City Hall (perhaps around March 2026) but time has essentially run out for getting approval to organise a festival that would take place in November 2025. Following the article in the Spring edition of Pints West, a number of people kindly submitted suggestions of potential new venues for the CAMRA Bristol Beer & Cider Festival. These are currently being considered as possible alternatives for 2026.
