South Devon CAMRA

Welcome to the South Devon CAMRA Website

- Forthcoming Beer Festivals -

Our September 2005 Beer Festival Logo South Devon CAMRA organise our main festival annually in Newton Abbot in late summer & help staff three other festivals locally during the spring and early summer. Our next festival is booked for August 2012... The other festivals that we support by helping out at annually include the now annual Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust late spring festival at Occombe Farm featuring beers from Devon and Cornwall. We also help staff the Tucker's Maltings Beer Festival in April in Newton Abbot and the Ales of Devon tent at the Devon County Show in mid-May.

Other beer festivals in and around our area are listed at the bottom of this page. Please step forward and contact us if you're interested in helping out at our festivals. We're always looking for extra helpers. Do let us know if there are any festivals that we've not listed.

SOUTH DEVON CAMRA'S 29TH BEER FESTIVAL

Our next beer festival will take place at Newton Abbot Racecourse I'm told on Fri 17th and Sat 18th August 2012. It may also run on the Thursday evening too but I've yet to have that confirmed by the organiser. If you're interested in helping out at this festival there's a kick-off festival meeting at the Cider Bar in Newton Abbot on Monday 23rd Jan 2012 at 8pm. So for all local CAMRA members who aren't involved with the branch at present, it's a great way to get to know other active branch members. We're a pretty friendly lot who enjoy decent beer and a good chat (last updated 6th Jan 2012)
