We are delighted that Pendle Beer Festival will return to the recently refurbished Muni Theatre in Colne from 29th to 31st January 2026, supporting Pendleside Hospice.
This will be the 19th edition of the festival and CAMRA hope you will join us to enjoy a wide range of real ales, craft beers and ciders from all around the country – there's sure to be something that hits the spot!
Over 80 real ales will be available to sample, and judging by our regular excellent attendance, people certainly appreciate the care and attention CAMRA volunteers give to serving beer in tip top form. There will be the usual range of real ciders and perries, a fine selection of KeyKeg craft beer for your delectation (find out more about KeyKeg beer) and of course a gin and prosecco bar!
