West Midlands CAMRA regional Mild in May trail

The Dudley and South Staffordshire and Wolverhampton branches of CAMRA are teaming up to host the regional Mild in May event this year. Both branches are celebrating their half centuries in 2026.

Branch members and CAMRA members from across the West Midlands are invited to join in on a trail on Saturday, May 9 utilising the No 1 bus route which runs between Dudley and Tettenhall Wood.

The route features many Good Beer Guide pubs from the two branches. In Dudley it starts opposite the Malt Shovel in Tower Street, which has just been announced as runner-up in the branch pub of the year competition. In Upper Gornal it stops near the Britannia and Jolly Crispin and in Sedgley the Swan, Bull's Head, Clifton, Stump/Mount Pleasant and Beacon Hotel - home of Sarah Hughes Brewery's Dark Ruby MIld, are on or near the route.

Pubs along the route are being invited to put on milds for the weekend of the trail and Holden's and Bathams milds, brewed locally, should be available.

For CAMRA members coming from outside the two branch areas the No 1 can easily be accessed from Wolverhampton railway and bus stations and the West Midlands Metro line.
