INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 24th CAMRA South Downs Beer & Cider Festival, at the Corn Exchange. We hope you enjoy your session with us, the team have sought out 80 beers together with a selection of real ciders, perries and specialty ciders (cider with additional fruit!). Also, for the first time, we will have some great keg beers from our local breweries.

If you are new to CAMRA we are not just about promoting real ale and cider but campaigning for consumer rights; be this keeping pubs open as these are the best place to drink real ale and cider; but also on taxation, which affects the price of your drink.
