The festival is running from Friday 23rd to Saturday 24th March 2018, with two day-long sessions. It will be held inside the Olympia room at Blackpool Winter Gardens.

Festival-goers can expect up to 125 different real ales, craft canned beers and ciders, including beers from sponsors Lancaster Brewery showcased on a hand pull bar.

Real Ale Events have pulled together some of the finest beers from the best breweries across the UK, starting with locally sourced ales from Lytham Brewery and Preston-based Beer Brothers, over to the multi-award-winning Brass Castle from York, down to Pot Belly Brewery in Kettering and further South to Mad Squirrel Brewery in Hertfordshire.

To bring in a few Summer vibes to proceedings, there will be a cider bar and also an indoor gin garden. This will feature a range of boutique gins, spirits, craft canned beers, wine and prosecco. Whatever your tipple… they have you covered!

All halves of real ale are £1.50 each, with halves of cider priced at £2 regardless of their strength. CAMRA members can enjoy £2 discount off a full card of tokens (usually £12) when presenting a valid CAMRA card at all sessions over the weekend.

There will be bands playing throughout the sessions, to accompany the perfectly selected beers.
