About this festival

West Dorset CAMRA and Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary Club proudly present the 37th Dorchester Beerex.
Over the years, Dorchester Beerex has raised over £300,000 for local good causes. This year’s event takes place on Friday 6th and Saturday 7th February 2026. We will have 84 real ales, a large selection of ciders and perry, seating for 100 upstairs and 50 downstairs. There will be hot/cold food available at all sessions and live music during the Friday and Saturday evening sessions.
We are pleased to welcome back Cerne Abbas Brewery as the main sponsor for Dorchester Beerex.
