CAMRA’s COVID-19 response

Following government guidance, the following events are cancelled:

• All York CAMRA branch socials and meetings until further notice
• All upcoming CAMRA Beer Festivals on 3 month rolling basis

York CAMRA beer festival 2020 is cancelled

We regret to have to announce that this year’s York Beer & Cider festival has been CANCELLED. The need for Social Distancing is clearly going to endure for a considerable time. This would have a massive negative impact on our capacity, destroying the party atmosphere that many come for and making the event unviable in financial terms.

We plan to return to the Racecourse in 2021, provisional dates are 15-18^th September 20201. I do hope to see you then.

Thank you to all members who have been involved in the organisation and planning.

How to support our breweries and pubs during COVID-19 crisis

1. Buy beer direct from the brewery – a number of local breweries are delivering to York and surrounds, or offering opening times where you can collect your order. Buying from the brewery puts the money direct into their tills and will help them keep the lights on.

2. Buy beer and food from the pub – a few pubs are keeping their kitchens open and delivering to their local area. If your local pubs is one of them then please support them and help them survive this unprecedented situation.

We’ve listed all the local breweries and pubs below. If you know any we’ve missed then please let us know on web@york.camra.org.uk so we can update this page.

Stay in touch while we social distance

CAMRA has created a virtual pub for beer drinkers and pub-goers to get together for a beer and tackle the loneliness and social isolation felt during the Coronavirus lockdown and closure of the nation’s pubs.

Within the walls opened The Online Arms on facebook welcoming locals.

And keep an eye out for online tasting sessions from some of your favourite breweries such as Turning Point and Tiny Rebel.
