38th Colchester Real Ale & Cider Festival

Real Ale - around 110 throughout the week with up to 75 available at a time, from all across the country. Cider - 20+ Real Ciders and Perrys. Belgian Beer - a wide selection of bottled Belgian Beers. Soft Drinks - there will be soft drinks and no-lo beer available.

The festival is open 12pm to 10.30pm everyday except Saturday where we open at 11am.

Entry is free at all times to CAMRA members on production of a valid membership card.

Entry for non-members is free until 3pm, £3 thereafter.

There is a refundable deposit on glasses. Drinks are purchased with the Beer Card system which costs £12. Beer cards are marked with 120 squares – each worth 10p (so worth £12 in total). When you buy your drink at the bar, your card will be marked off with the amount you have spent. For example, if you buy a drink for £3.20, the bar staff will cross off 32 squares, leaving you with 88 squares (£8.80) to spend.
