CAMRA Members Weekend, AGM and Conference is CANCELLED
Due to government advice on mass gatherings, it is with regret that we must cancel the Members’ Weekend in York this April. We are looking at options for how we can successfully conclude AGM business without a physical meeting, so would encourage anyone who has not already done so to vote remotely for the Ordinary and Special Resolutions and the National Executive elections, as you will no longer be able to do so at a physical meeting.

Meetings and Socials
York branch organises a lively socials diary – you can find more details on our website calendar – and all our social trips are open to all. For CAMRA members who want to get a bit more involved, we hold monthly branch meetings in a pub in York city centre.
York Beer census is on 7 March 2020 and we’re looking for volunteers to help us survey more than 200 pubs. Find more details and volunteer on this dedicated page.
Most months of the year you can find a local beer festival, battle of the breweries or meet the brewer events happening somewhere in or around York. We list all the ones we know of on the local beer festivals diary (if we have missed one off then please tell us!) and some notable Yorkshire and national beer festivals on the national beer festivals diary.
We publish a quarterly magazine, Ouse Boozer, that is distributed free to real ale pubs in the branch area.
We organise a beer festival each year in September, held on the Knavesmire near York Racecourse.
Are you organising a beer festival? Read our FAQ for beer festival organisers page and let us know where and when the festival is happening so we can add it to the diary.
FAQ Pages
IMPORTANT. If you are a beer festival organiser or a licensee and have a question for us please check our FAQ pages first, Beer festival organiser, Licensee.

Unspoilt pubs — here is your definitive guide to the nation’s most important historic pub interiors. Since the 1960s few pubs have escaped major changes but this website helps you seek out the best historic examples we have left. They range from simple unaltered village pubs to glorious late-Victorian extravaganzas. Each is very special in its own way.
