For the first time since 1983, The Great British Beer Festival will be hosted in the West Midlands, with the flagship festival set to be staged at the iconic NEC Birmingham between  5-9 August 2025

Now in its 47th year, the highly anticipated return of The Great British Beer Festival will celebrate the best of UK brewing and beyond, with a huge range of fantastic drinks all under one roof. Visitors can look forward to trying hundreds of different beers as well as visit bars dedicated to real cider and perry, and cocktails.

CAMRA’s prestigious Champion Beer of Britain 2025 competition will also return to the festival next year. The overall winners will be announced on the first day of the festival, and the beers in each winning category will be available to try.

Festival Organiser Adam Gent said: “The return of the Great British Beer Festival is a cause for great celebration. I cannot wait to welcome beer and cider lovers from across the UK, and indeed the world, to the NEC Birmingham, where the festival promises to be better than ever before. Come and experience our incredible selection of the finest beers, ciders and perries, along with delicious food.”
