Great British Beer Festival

It presents a selection of cask ales, and the Champion Beer of Britain awards, and is held in August of each year.

[2] The Tuesday afternoon session is only open to the trade and press, with the Champion Beer of Britain award winners being announced mid-afternoon.

Part of the huge improvement on 2005 (ticket sales were up 40%) was attributed by the festival organiser, Marc Holmes, to the move from Olympia to Earls Court, a much larger and easily accessible venue.

As well as the beer, the festival offers entertainment such as live music and traditional pub games, as well as a variety of food stands.

[2] CAMRA announced that no festival will take place in 2024 due to renovations at Olympia and the lack of a suitable alternative venue.
