A beer festival organised each Autumn by the Berkshire South-East branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) at the prestigious Ascot Racecourse.
We are delighted to announce that the 2024 beer festival will be taking place on Friday 4th October and Saturday 5th October
.This year we will exhibit over 160 different real ales, real ciders and perries, including 4 Festival Special Beers brewed especially for our festival. Our LiveBar will show live information on what beers are currently available during the festival. As well as our fabulous selection of drinks, the festival will also offer some top class flat racing and the chance to have a flutter if you fancy, plus live music.
Entrance tickets for the beer festival are on-sale now. See the Tickets page for details.
A voucher system will be in operation for all Beer Festival ales, ciders and perries. Vouchers can be purchased in advance or on the day.
Free Tasting Notes will also be provided.
