CAMRA, a non-profit organisation and the biggest organiser of beer festivals in the UK, is offering beer and cider lovers free entry to all its festivals, as a game-changing new membership benefit for 2026.
CAMRA festivals are one of the best places to discover new beers from independent brewers, giving you the chance to find a new favourite, or just share your love of great beer with friends and family.
A quarter of a million people already go to CAMRA festivals each year, enjoying a whopping 850,000 pints of top-quality beer and cider. With free entry now on offer, this is one occasion where it’s worth following the crowd, cutting the queues, and joining the Campaign.
With well over 100 festivals on offer, CAMRA takes beer and cider lovers on a journey through the soul of British brewing. From festivals held in medieval towns and heritage buildings to huge outdoor events, and even on Jesus Green in Cambridge, there's something for everyone!
Ash Corbett-Collins, CAMRA Chairman said:
“You can’t put a price on beer culture and community, so we’ve made entry to our festivals free for our members. This means that CAMRA membership will get you even more than it did before, including the opportunity to try beers you’ve never heard of at festivals you’ll never forget.”
CAMRA membership is the essential package for beer and pub lovers, costing as little as £34 per year, and you get to be a part of one of the most successful grassroots campaigns in the UK. For more information and member benefits, visit camra.org.uk/membership
