Welcome to this update of what's happening in Ely CAMRA's branch area.

15th Elysian Winter Beer Festival Obviously the biggest event this month is our 15th Elysian Winter Beer Festival. It opens to the public on Friday 7th (11:00-22:00) and Saturday 8th (11:00-20:00) February at the Maltings. We'll have over 100 beers and ciders for you and other drinkers to enjoy. We also have wine. There's food too. And there's free entry to card carrying CAMRA members. Come along and enjoy this great event in a wonderful venue. And as well as the main event at the Maltings there are also four pubs involved in the Fringe Festival. For more details, including the beer and cider lists, check it out on our website.

2026 Good Beer Guide This weekend will also be your last chance to help decide which five of our pubs will appear in the 2026 edition of CAMRA's Good Beer Guide. We need you to give your views on our shortlist of 15 pubs. CAMRA members from Ely and adjoining branches can take part. We have a website where you can tell us what you think of the shortlisted pubs that you have visited in the last six months. Login using your usual CAMRA login details. You can revise your marks as often as you like until the deadline on Sunday 9 February.

Open Branch Meeting Our February Open Branch Meeting will be held on Wednesday 12 February from 7:45pm at the Cutter Inn. Come along and hear what your branch is doing.
