The Durham Beer Festival will return for its 44th edition in September 2026. As with our last 6 festivals we'll be at the Durham City Rugby Club on Green Lane - see the Location page for more details.
Please note that this year we have changed our opening days to Thursday to Sunday. This gives us more time to let the beers settle before we start serving!
Some details are still being finalized, but we currently plan on having 27 real ales and 6 ciders and perries available.
Join us for an evening in a pub with some fine real ales. No boring meeting stuff - just a chance to enjoy some drinks with fellow real ale fans!
Our September Branch Meeting will be held on Wednesday 16th September at the Victoria on Hallgarth Street in Durham from 19:30. This meeting will include a chance to review the 2026 Durham Beer Festival.
