Wolverhampton CAMRA is holding its Summer Festival of Beer & Cider Full at the end of July. Full details are here.
29-31 August: Warwick PubFest (CAMRA Supported)
Warwick is set to come alive this August Bank Holiday weekend with the launch of PubFest — a town-wide pub festival celebrating independent hospitality, great beer, and community spirit. The festival runs on Saturday 29, Sunday 30 and Monday 31 of August.
Organised by local publicans and business owners, PubFest will see 14 of Warwick’s finest pubs open their doors across the weekend for a celebration of great drinks, live music, and local culture. PubFest is a Warwick Chamber of Trade event, with all participating pubs being Chamber members. Three of the pubs feature in the CAMRA Good Beer guide.
With each pub having its own character, visitors will experience Warwick’s oldest, newest and smallest pub. The best beer gardens in Warwick are featured and there is a warm welcome for dogs and their owners, and families too! There will be a choice from around 50 real ales, together with ample choices of other drinks and alcohol free alternatives!
This year’s event has been named as a fundraising initiative for the Mayor of Warwick’s chosen charity, the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust, which promotes Prostate Cancer awareness and testing. Graham commented “We’re all about raising awareness of PSA testing and as a Warwick Boy, I’m delighted we will be getting the message out there through this great event.”
Suzi McIntyre, landlady of The Castle Pub, said: “Warwick has an incredible collection of independent pubs and we wanted to do something to celebrates that — and at the same time does some real good for the community. Having the Mayor’s backing and raising money for the Graham Fulford Charitable Trust makes it all the more special.”
PubFest 2026 is supported by an impressive line-up of brewery partners including Estrella Damm, Theakston’s, Swinkels (La Trappe), and Warwick’s very own Slaughterhouse — ensuring a fantastic range of beers. The inclusion of Slaughterhouse Brewery adds a proudly local flavour to the festival, with the Warwick-based brewery’s excellent tap house included as one of the venues.
