About this festival

The Durham Beer Festival will return for its 44th edition in September 2026. As with our last 6 festivals we'll be at the Durham City Rugby Club on Green Lane.

Please note that this year we have changed our opening days to Thursday to Sunday. This gives us more time to let the beers settle before we start serving!

Some details are still being finalized, but we currently plan on having 27 real ales and 6 ciders and perries available.

Entry is free to CAMRA Members on production of a valid membership card; or £5 for non-members

Keep an eye on our Social Media channels and the website for updates!
