23 May, 2011 - 28 May, 2011
Jesus Green, Cambridge

Britain's oldest beer festival, and the largest outside London, the Cambridge Beer Festival attracts more than 32,000 people over six days in May.

It gives festival-goers the chance to sample more than 170 real ales and 60 foreign beers, ciders, English wines and mead. There's also a variety of food stalls, while some breweries run their own bars.

A very popular cheese counter offers over 70 English cheeses made by small independent producers.

Several shops offer beer-related souvenirs - T-shirts, tankards, postcards and badges, while children's entertainment, such as face painting and a bouncy castle, is provided on the Saturday.

In 2010 the beer of the festival was Thornbridge Kipling, while the cider of the festival was Pookhill Rum Reserve, and perry of the festival was Broadoak Perry.
