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.

 

Tickets can be purchased HERE


Friday Lunchtime Session

 

We will again be holding a Friday lunchtime session limited to just 200 lucky people, for which the tickets cost £19 each. Seating will be available in the main hall for this session. Tickets for this session are SOLD OUT.

 

Tickets for Thursday evening cost £14. Tickets for the Friday evening and Saturday sessions cost £15 and tickets for the session on Sunday afternoon cost just £11. Remember 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. On presentation of a current membership card when entering the festival, CAMRA members will also receive a voucher on entry for a half pint of beer up to 5% ABV.

 

The festival organisers are aware that some people prefer Brunel’s Old Station at Temple Meads as a venue, however it is not currently available for hire.

 

IMPORTANT

 

When buying tickets please double check that you have selected the correct session(s) that you want to attend and that you enter your email address correctly.

 

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.

Volunteering


As always, the festival relies on CAMRA volunteers. Not only behind the bar but also in a variety of other roles at each session, as well as help with setting it up and taking it down. We're still looking for volunteers for this year's festival. If you'd like to help out, please fill out the form HERE to tell us what you'd like to do and when.

If you have any questions about volunteering, please email:
bbcf2024volunteers@gmail.com


Trade Session

 

In addition to the public sessions there will be a 'Trade session' on Thursday 14th November which will start at 1pm and end at 4pm. The session is intended for brewers and the allied trades but we would also like to hear from publicans with an interest in real ale who may wish to attend. For more information or to register interest to attend please contact tradesession@camrabristol.org.uk.
