Cask Ales

Over 120 real cask ales will be on tap at the festival, all of which have been chosen especially for the festival by our local CAMRA members, as being a fine selection of British cask ale.

The selection features both those produced locally within Sussex, plus a wide selection of real ales produced all over the UK.

For more information on real ale visit the CAMRA website

Drinks can be purchased in third, half or full pints and will be served from chilled casks. All purchases must be made with Festival tokens, which can be purchased in the foyer of the venue.
