INTRODUCTION

The 28th CAMRA South Downs Beer & Cider Festival will be held at the Corn Exchange on the 12th & 13th of June, details of Sessions will be published here when confirmed..

We expect that there will be 70 cask beers together with a selection of real ciders, perries and speciality ciders (cider with additional fruit!).
and, In addition, there should be 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.
