The Stockton CAMRA Ale and Arty Beer Festival returns for its seventh year after another huge success in 2010. The festival, as always, takes place over three days (Thur 24 : Sat 26 Feb) with festival goers supping up the selections during the day and enjoying entertainment on the evening.
You can expect another weekend of the country’s best music and comedy, not to mention delicious food and an array of more than 70 real ales, lagers, cider and perry.
The last six years have seen huge crowds turn out and enjoy the vast array of ales on offer. The last three years have been so popular with local beer lovers that the festival sold out of real ale by 9.30pm on Saturday, so each year the selection on offer is increased to cope with rising demand.
This year’s selection will include both favourites from earlier years and a number of new beers, including one or two unique festival specials.

Entry £1 (Free to card carrying CAMRA members)
Evening festival 6.30 – 11pm
