Tickets for Dorchester Beerex, which takes place on 6th and 7th February, go on sale today and are expected to sell fast if previous years are anything to go by.

As part of the build-up to West Dorset CAMRA’s 50th anniversary celebrations in 2026, the first 100 people to place an order for Dorchester Beerex via its website will be entered into a free prize draw.
One lucky individual will win a free ticket to a session of their choice at both Weymouth Octoberfest 2026 and Dorchester Beerex 2027, along with a 2026 Beerex shirt.
“2026 will be a fantastic year for our branch of CAMRA, with celebrations in the planning for our 50th year,” said West Dorset CAMRA press officer Rich Gabe.
“Dorchester Beerex is a great way to kick the winter blues, meet friends new and old, while enjoying well kept ales and ciders. I know the Beerex committee members are hoping to raise as much money possible for People First Dorset. It’s going to be a superb event.”
Tickets are priced at £12 and include a commemorative glass, colour programme listing all beers and ciders with tasting notes, and two free half-pint drink tokens. CAMRA members will receive an extra free pint.
Tickets are also available from: The Convivial Rabbit and Tom Browns, in Dorchester; Brace of Butchers, in Poundbury; and The Globe, in Weymouth.
