The 24th CAMRA Bristol Beer Festival will run from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th November 2023 at City Hall, College Green, Bristol. There will be a carefully chosen selection of around 90 different real ales on sale over the course of the festival as well as a range of around 30 ciders and perries.
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased by clicking HERE
Ticket prices for the sessions are unchanged from last year with Thursday and Saturday costing £14 (Friday is SOLD OUT) and tickets for the session on Sunday afternoon costing £11. Tickets for all sessions include £5 worth of beer festival tokens, which customers will receive on entry enabling them to go straight to the bar. Also included are a festival programme and commemorative glass. Please note that as the branch still has a large stock of unused glasses that we had made for the 2020 beer festival (which was cancelled due to COVID), these will be used for this festival. On presentation of a current membership card when entering the festival, CAMRA members will also receive a voucher on entry for a half pint of beer up to 5% ABV.
In light of customer feedback that at the peak of some sessions of the 2022 festival it felt a bit too crowded, the overall number of tickets on sale per session has been reduced.
IMPORTANT
When buying tickets please double check that you have selected the correct session(s) that you wish to attend and that you enter your email address correctly.

Charlton Lings Club have a beer and cider festival 1st-3rd March from noon, 10 ales, 8 ciders, live music Fri/Sat, 7-11.30, (two bands/artists each night), non members welcome.
Another Saturday ale Amble this time heading to Bristol before catching the train to the outskirts of Bristol along the Severn Beach route.
The plan is to get the 10.52 train to Bristol Temple Meads and then get the Severn Beach branch line, getting to Shirehampton at 12.08. There is one pub there and after a pint, we get back on the train and head back towards Temple Meads, stopping at different stops. Our friend, Norman (from Cardiff and Bristol), will arrange the itinerary for us. All you need to know is the first pub which is the Lamplighters at Shirehampton.
