34th Yapton Beerex

**YAPTON 34th BEEREX 2026**

The hall stands on Yapton Village Green which affords the opportunity for al fresco relaxation over a pint or two. The middle weekends in May have in recent years afforded some great weather, so fingers crossed. In addition to even more 48 perfectly cooled real cask ales, this year there will again be a craft beer bar, 15 ciders and perries, and the return of our excellent caterer, Hey Amigo!

We are also retaining our world beer bottle fridge, “Biéres Sans Frontiéres”.

All ales and ciders will have been selected from both international, national and local sources by CAMRA volunteers who will be on hand to guide you through the various styles. Session times are below with ticket prices. You don’t need a ticket for Sunday but please bring ID if you are lucky enough to look under 25. Children and well-behaved dogs are welcome and free.

• Friday 15th May 12 noon to 930pm - £10
• Saturday 16th May 12 noon to 9:00pm - £10
• Sunday 19th May 12:00 noon to 3:00pm - FREE (Drinks choice likely to be limited in this session)

THIS YEAR, ADVANCE TICKETS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE (not in pubs or by post).

Advance Friday and Saturday ticket packages purchased online by CAMRA members will entitle them to receive £8 worth of beer tokens on arrival at the hall and a £2 programme. 

We really need to manage numbers as we have limited capacity so to encourage online tickets sales CAMRA members buying tickets on the door (should any be available) will only qualify for £4 worth of beer tokens. Non-members can get £8 worth of beer tokens if they sign up and join CAMRA on the day.

Glasses are again to borrow not to keep. Cash and cards will be accepted for everything with tokens for sale to buy drinks.

The 500 and 700 Stagecoach bus services operate regularly between Littlehampton and Chichester and beyond (500 from Barnham station) on all 3 days of the festival. Compass route 66 also serves Bognor and local villages on Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons.

A link to the ticketing website can be found on QR code on our posters at various venues and in this publication. Any updates will be posted on www.westernsussexcamra.org.uk and this site will also link to an interactive beer list in the fullness of time.

Tickets MAY be available on the door but if they have all been presold then this won’t happen so we would recommend purchasing in advance as numbers are limited. If you would like to volunteer to work serving and/or setting up and taking down please contact Paul on 07940 527045. Beer and food is provided!

Cheers! Tony Ashcroft and Paul Dunn Festival Organisers
