The Hunts CAMRA Booze on the Ouse Beer and Cider Festival 2023 will take place this week. 

The three-day festival is being held at the Priory Centre, in St Neots, on March 16/17/18.

Over the course of the festival, organisers plan to serve 60 cask conditioned beers and five craft beers, from both well-established independent breweries and the newer 'craft' micro-breweries.

There will also be a wide range of beers sourced from local and regional breweries from across the UK, as well as vegan and gluten-free beers.

The traditional cider bar will be serving a selection of traditional cider and perry, sourced from quality producers, locally and elsewhere in Britain. There will be 16 ciders and perries available.

Visitors can also enjoy hot and cold food, including tea, coffee, soft drinks and a selection of cakes and snacks can be obtained from the cafe bar at the Priory Centre.

The event organisers have also announced that they will be supporting The Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire Wildlife Trust.
