Derby CAMRA Heritage Beer Festival

29/03/2026

Save the date! The Derby Heritage Beer Festival is coming... to Derby Market Hall!

We're very excited to be joining the Derby Market Hall community this October. We will be bringing you over one hundred cask ales, keg beers, ciders and perries, celebrating not only local breweries and producers, but from all over the UK and beyond as well.

Sat right in the heart of Derby, our new home at the Market Hall promises to deliver a brilliant atmosphere and be one of the unmissable events in our city this Autumn.

Mark it in your calendars - Wednesday 14th October to Saturday 17th October. More details coming soon!

The story of CAMRA beer festivals in Derby stretches nearly fifty years, full of brilliant chapters and great characters.

We have enjoyed a wonderful partnership with the Museum of Making over the last two years and their fantastic team have been a joy to work with. Our chapter with them has now closed but we are full of gratitude and wish them the very best in their future events. Like us they are so passionate about our city and promoting our heritage, and we will continue to cheer them on as they have with us.

The Derby Heritage Beer Festival will return later this year. New venue, new partnership, new chapter.

Stay tuned for an announcement coming very soon!
