26th South Downs Beer & Cider Festival 2024

11:00 Friday 14 – 19:00 Saturday 15 June 2024

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 26th CAMRA South Downs Beer & Cider Festival, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of CAMRA Brighton & South Downs Branch, at the Corn Exchange. We hope you will enjoy your session with us
The team have sought out 70 cask beers together with a selection of real ciders, perries and speciality ciders (cider with additional fruit!).
In addition, we will have a selection of membrane keg live beers from 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.
