Poster for the 37th Colchester Real Ale and Cider Festival.

About

80+ beers will be available from across the country, alongside a selection of real ale, cider, Belgian beers and soft drinks.

Colchester Arts Centre is based in a converted church close to the centre of Colchester, off Head Street. There’s been a church on the site since 1206, the current building dating from 1872. It became the Arts Centre in 1980 and has hosted the Colchester Summer and Winter festivals since 1988. Refurbished during the pandemic, come for the beer, stay to look at the new toilets!

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.

Purchasing Beers:

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.
