The 13^th annual Bristol Beer Festival will take place at the Brunel Passenger Shed, Temple Meads, Bristol, on Friday 19 March and Saturday 20 March 2010. There will be approximately 120 real ales and 40 ciders & perries. Food will be available at all sessions supplied by Proper Pasties and Trethowan’s Dairy. The ticket price includes admission, programme, a commemorative pint glass (marked with half and third pint lines) and £5 worth of tokens. Card-carrying CAMRA members will also receive a voucher for a free half-pint of beer, cider or perry. Admission is by advance ticket only and tickets are strictly non refundable.  

Anyone that has attended our previous festivals will appreciate just how popular they are and that they are organised and run entirely by unpaid local CAMRA activists. The huge demand for tickets resulted in our taking a new approach to ticket sales that has proved successful for the last two festivals, so we are using the same method for the 2010 festival.  

 UPDATE :

Tickets for the Friday evening and Saturday lunchtime sessions have sold out, but there are still some tickets available for the Friday lunchtime and Saturday evening sessions. These are NOW ON SALE in the Seven Stars, Thomas Lane, Bristol. First come, first served!

Take a look at the early queue for tickets at the Commercial Rooms:

As we did for the 2009 festival we are including £5 worth of tokens in the ticket price to speed up the festival entry process and stop customers having to queue twice.

Tickets are strictly non refundable, however at the relevant session of the festival you could still claim the included glass, programme and tokens if you had an extra ticket that was no longer required.

We strongly advise people to keep an eye on this website as this will feature any extra or updated information about the ticket sales procedure and updates as to ticket availability, as well as the beer and cider lists as they become available.

Please note!

Due to changes in the venue, the entrance to the beer festival will now be at the bottom of the station approach - see the map below:
