National Winter Ales Festival

From 2018 it was marketed as Great British Beer Festival Winter.

While the summer event has been exclusive to London since 1991, the Great British Beer Festival Winter moves between host cities, allocated on 3-year cycle.

Branches of CAMRA around the United Kingdom bid for the event.

Derby was the host city for 2014 to 2016 where the event was held at the Roundhouse.

The final Derby festival drew 13,832 attendees, the largest in the event's history.
