In a statement last night, the Campaign for Real Ale said: “Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the pandemic, it is with a heavy heart that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the in-person Great British Beer Festival 2021.

“We will have an alternative event in its place and will release more information on this once we have more details.”
