Liverpool Beer Festival

The only CAMRA Real Ale and Cider Festival in Liverpool, the Liverpool Beer Festival, returns to the Crypt of the Metropolitan Cathedral in February 2026 with over 200 Real Ales and Ciders. 

This year Liverpool Beer Festival is also hosting Champion Winter Beer of Britain. 

Your ticket now includes £10 worth of vouchers to collect with your glass and programme so there’s will be no need to queue at the voucher desk when you first arrive.

The festival will be open to the public over the following five separately ticketed sessions:

1. Thu 19th Feb (6:00pm until 10:00pm).
2. Fri 20th Feb (Midday until 4:00pm).
3. Fri 20th Feb (6:00pm until 10:00pm).
4. Sat 21st Feb (Midday until 4:00pm).
5. Sat 21st Feb (6:00pm until 10:00pm) – includes entertainment (act to be announced)

Every ticket includes:

(1) Admission (not refundable) – the amount charged varies depending on the session and ticket type. CAMRA Members’ tickets have free admission but these are limited to one ticket per member per session and are not transferrable. Members will therefore need to log on before they can purchased their heavily discounted ticket.

(2) Glass (£2 not refundable)

(3) Programme (£2 not refundable)

(4) £10 sheet of vouchers (unused vouchers are refundable at the session for which they’re issued)

*No refunds will be given for unused tickets so please only buy what you can use.
 *No under 18s will be admitted. If you are lucky enough to look under the age of 25 then please come with proof of age as you may be asked to produce it at the door.

Wheelchair access is available through the usual entrance but we ask you contact us by email to access@liverpoolbeerfestival.org.uk ahead of the festival so we can ensure the checking in process for you is as quick and smooth as possible.
