47th Norwich Beer Festival 2026

One of the great fixtures of the East Anglian autumn, the 47th Norwich Beer Festival returns to The Halls on St Andrew's Plain for six days of real ale, cider, and good company. Organised by the Norwich & District branch of CAMRA, this long-running festival draws enthusiasts from across Norfolk and beyond into one of the city's most atmospheric medieval spaces.

What to expect

• A vast range of real ales and ciders, curated by the Norwich & District CAMRA branch
• Monday evening opens the festival (from 4 pm for CAMRA members, 5 pm for non-members), with the event running through to Saturday 31 October
• Tuesday runs as an all-day session from 11.30 am to 10 pm, with other days offering lunchtime and evening sessions
• The iconic surroundings of the recently revitalised Halls, combining protected medieval heritage with modern facilities

Good to know

• Entry is free for CAMRA members at all sessions. Non-members can buy advance tickets online (via CAMRA's Tckty platform) or simply pay on the door.
• Advance tickets include a refundable £5 glass and a refundable £20 beer card as a starter pack, and represent at most 40% of capacity, so walk-in entry is always available.
• The Halls are centrally located at St Andrew's Plain, Norwich NR3 1AU, within easy walking distance of Norwich city centre.
