There’s always something to get involved in at CAMRA – locally, regionally or nationally. If you enjoy beer, pubs and meeting new people then get involved, with a local CAMRA branch.

North West

The North West's CAMRA community is at the forefront of the real ale revival, with its vibrant urban scene offering a mix of traditional pubs, modern microbreweries, and lively beer festivals. CAMRA's local branches are dedicated to promoting quality ale and cider, advocating for pub preservation, and fostering a sense of camaraderie among members.

Bare minimum

Taking a seat inside a popular central Manchester bar, I scroll my finger down the menu, deciding what to order for lunch. Opting for a double cheeseburger and fries, it comes in at what I consider to be a reasonable £16. To wash it down I order a pint of pale ale, another £5.90 – above the Greater Manchester average of £4.57 (according to the latest data from CGA) but it feels like decent enough value to me. Coming in at just shy of £22, it’s pretty much what I’d expect to pay for a sit-down lunch in the city centre. Despite being one of the 50 per cent of earners who takes home less than the median UK salary, this doesn’t feel like an extravagance.
