Norwich & District CAMRA has confirmed that the city’s annual beer festival will be returning to The Halls from 23rd-28th October.
Blackfriars and St Andrew’s Hall will see an even distribution of national and local ales. Blackfriars will play host to a selection of bands and musicians.
The announcement follows speculation over the temporary closure of The Halls for essential repairs and maintenance. A Norwich City Council statement said: “There are no immediate concerns regarding the structure of the building and [organisations] can continue to use it until the construction phase commences in early 2024.”
Festival organiser Craig Harmer said: “We are delighted to be returning for another year to the Halls and hope this will
be a record-breaking year for attendance, with plenty of new and familiar faces. We especially appreciate those who organise groups or travel from afar to enjoy the festival.”
Every day, including Saturday, visitors can pay on the door. But for those who like to secure advance tickets, they are now on sale here.
Norwich & District CAMRA is also running a series of evening and daytime coach trips, open to non-members too, with discounts for members. Find out more about those here.
At the beer festival, every variety of ale will be on offer. The more unusual will be found at the Curiosity Bar, now in its fifth year. There will also be a dedicated cider and perry bar, while the World Beer Bar will be in a marquee.
As always, there will be a limited number of Norwich Beer Festival collectible beer glasses, featuring the new logo. CAMRA membership will be on sale, too, giving newcomers free access to all sessions.
