St Albans City of Ale Thursday 16 – Tuesday 21 April 2026 St Albans
April sees St Albans become the City of Ale for a (very) long weekend. The CAMRA Members' weekend is just 17-19 April, but St Albans is celebrating for longer

You can explore lively pubs and clubs hosting festivals, tastings, live talks and music events. Sample fantastic local beers and ciders and meet the people behind them. It's a weekend of discovery, flavour and fun in the setting of a beautiful historic city.

There's a whole host of events around the city taking place around the CAMRA business weekend. You (and non-members) can participate in all the City of Ale events without attending the Members' Weekend at all. See their website to see al the events: St Albans City of Ale
