==Festivals== [[File:GBBF 2.jpg|thumb|Great British Beer Festival 2004]] CAMRA supports and promotes beer and cider festivals around the country, which are organised by local CAMRA branches. Generally, each festival charges an entry fee which either covers entry only or also includes a commemorative glass showing the details of the festival. A festival programme is usually also provided, with a list and description of the drinks available.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.camra.org.uk/beerfestivals |title=List of upcoming CAMRA beer festivals |access-date=25 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130729002251/http://www.camra.org.uk/beerfestivals |archive-date=29 July 2013 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Members may get discounted entrance to CAMRA festivals. The Campaign also organises the annual [[Great British Beer Festival]] in August. It is now held in the Great, National & West Halls at the [[Olympia, London|Olympia Exhibition Centre]], in [[Kensington]], London, having been held for a few years at [[Earls Court Exhibition Centre|Earl's Court]] as well as regionally in the past at venues such as [[Brighton]] and [[Leeds]]. This is the UK's largest beer festival, with over 900 beers, ciders and perries available over the week long event. For many years, CAMRA also organised the National Winter Ales Festival. However, in 2017 this was re-branded as the [[National Winter Ales Festival|Great British Beer Festival Winter]] where they award the [[Champion Winter Beer of Britain]]. Unlike the Great British Beer Festival, the Winter event does not have a permanent venue and is rotated throughout the country every three years. Recent hosts have been [[Derby]] and [[Norwich]], with the event currently held each February in Birmingham. In 2020 CAMRA also launched the Great Welsh Beer Festival, to be held in Cardiff in April.
