CAMRA members now get game-changing free festival entry

CAMRA is offering beer and cider lovers free entry to all its festivals, as a valuable new membership benefit for 2026.

CAMRA festivals are one of the best places to discover beers from independent brewers, giving you the chance to find a new favourite, or just share your love of great beer with friends and family.

More than 250,000 people already go to CAMRA festivals each year, enjoying a whopping 850,000 pints of top-quality beer and cider. With free entry now on offer, this is one occasion where it’s worth following the crowd, cutting the queues and saving cash by joining the Campaign.

With well over 100 festivals on offer, CAMRA takes beer and cider lovers on a journey through the soul of British brewing. From festivals held in medieval towns and heritage buildings to huge outdoor events, and even on Jesus Green in Cambridge, there’s something for everyone!

CAMRA chairman Ash Corbett-Collins said: “You can’t put a price on beer culture and community, so we’ve made entry to our festivals free for our members. This means CAMRA membership will get you even more than it did before, including the opportunity to try beers you’ve never heard of at festivals you’ll never forget.”

Campaign membership is the essential package for beer and pub lovers, costing as little as £34 a year and you get to be a part of one of the most successful grassroots campaigns in the UK.
