The Campaign for Real Ale

The North Bedfordshire branch promotes the main aims of CAMRA and provides information about pubs, breweries and activities in this area. The core aims are the promotion of real ale, real cider and perry, and to promote pubs not just as places to drink but to highlight the important role they play at the heart of every community.

 

For more information visit CAMRA.ORG.UK 
for more information about the campaign, what real ale is and for details of current key campaigns.

 

If you live in North Bedfordshire and would like to join us in our many activities please go to the JOIN page for more information.

 

The North Bedfordshire Branch of The Campaign for Real Ale covers the County roughly North of the A507 and West of the A1/ B658.

Tier 2 Rules for Pubs
NATIONAL LOCKDOWN IN BEDFORDSHIRE
The current restrictions allow pubs to open gardens. From 17th May they can open indoors for table service only. Customers won't be able to order from the bar. Drinkers and diners must register their attendance. Guests must observe the rule of six, which allows half a dozen people from different households to meet – or more if they come from two different households. Outside the pub, people will be able to meet in larger groups – up to 30 people. There will be no requirement for customers to order a substantial meal with their drink. If the latest surge of new infections can be arrested, all remaining restrictions will be removed on 19th July.

We are currently updating our listing of North Beds pubs and clubs that are open on our Pub News page.  
We’re asking you to contact your MP to support CAMRA's campaign to allow pubs to be able to sell alcohol in sealed containers to take home during the National Lockdown in England.  Use the form here on the main CAMRA website to add your name to our campaign.
