BAD NEWS: The Summer Great British Beer Festival aka the GBBF is taking a year off in 2024. The difficult decision not to go ahead next year was taken as Olympia could not secure the dates we required, impacting on our volunteers and potentially other events across the country. In addition, ongoing building works might also impact on ability to host our flagship festival to the usual high standard. Other venues have been explored, but due to timescales, costs and Festival requirements we have been unsuccessful.

GOOD NEWS: Well, a bit of a surprise, but at least plenty of notice given. GBBF volunteers are encouraged to look at other CAMRA events taking place across the country, where your expertise would no doubt be invaluable. If you're looking to attend a local Beer Festival, you may well find info on our Diary & What's On page, and for main CAMRA Festivals nationwide see CAMRA Beer Festivals.
