About this festival

Welcome to the 28th CAMRA South Downs Beer & Cider Festival, Lewes Town Hall, Old Corn Exchange.

We hope you enjoy your session with us. The team has sought out 70+ live beers together with a selection of real ciders, perries and specialty ciders.

If you are new to CAMRA we are not just about promoting real ale and cider but campaigning for consumer rights, be this keeping pubs open as these are the best place to drink real ale and cider, but also on taxation, which affects the price of your drink.
