Welcome to the Festival Page 



The beer event of the year returns for 
it’s 22nd outing.

Four days of excellent beer, music and food, entirely organised and served to you by CAMRA volunteers. 

Here we are again at the highlight of the year for those that appreciate outstanding beer quality. It is also an opportunity for people to try the diverse choice presented at this now famous event.

We come to you from the Paisley Town Hall and we open on at 5pm on Wednesday 29th April. Preparations are underway and beer is on order, full beer lists will be available shortly but as usual we will be showcasing

The English Bar, specialising this year on the Derbyshire and Yorkshire regions 

The Scottish Bar, featuring, among others, our own local breweries 

The Foreign Bar, with some old favourites as well as the usual surprises that need to be treated with caution 

The Cider Bar where there is always an interesting collection of Real Cider, Mead and Perry.

For the first time in a few years we will be able to offer a limited number of official festival T-shirts. Don’t be without one, pre-order your shirt now and collect at the door, email David for more details.

Our chosen charity this year is Myeloma UK, and staff invite you to join them and dress like a Pirate on Saturday to support the fund raising, and to give you an excuse to “Yarr” and “Aaaargh” with the best of them.

Have a great festival, keep an eye on the strength of the beer you are drinking and be sure to grab something to eat before and during sampling the ales.
