The 42nd annual festival will take place from August 28 to 31 at Durham City Rugby Club's Hollow Drift clubhouse located on Green Lane.

Festivities kick off at 4pm on August 28 with over thirty real ales on tap.

While local North East breweries will be well-represented, attendees can expect to sample some exotic brews from around the country.

In addition to beer, the event will offer at least eight varieties of real ciders and perries, including rare local options.

The festival will open at noon from August 29 through August 31, shutting down each day at 10.30pm to facilitate the departure of volunteers using public transportation.

Last year, the festival boasted a line-up featuring beers from across the UK, with producers from as far as Central Scotland and Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Yet, local favourites from the likes of Big Lamp, Hadrian Border, Caps Off, and Hill Island were among the highlights.

Remember to mark your calendar for this year's CAMRA Durham Beer Festival.

It promises to be another exciting celebration of the country's rich brewing heritage.
