HULL REAL ALE FESTIVAL BREAKS ALL RECORDS
Once again the Hull Real Ale & Cider Festival broke all records. The number of real ales, ciders, perries and bottled beers available for tasting was over 160, up by 12% from previous years. The attendence over the two and a half days was in the region of 3,000, up by around 25% on last year. The popularity of the festival, held in the glorious setting of tHoly Trinity church in the Old Town area of Hull, is a great tribute to the church and the work done by the local branch of CAMRA. This was the third festival held at Holy Trinity and compared to the first, when we had just 60 beers and 20 ciders and perries, it is great to see this becoming one of the biggest festivals in the country. Plans are already in progress for next year’s event and the Branch together with the church, are now looking at ways to expand the Festival to include more real ale, ciders, perries and bottled beers. The date when next year’s festival will take place is from 16th to 18th April, further updates will be issued through this magazine and our Branch website at regular intervals. A further report on this event can be seen elsewhere in this issue.
