The twelfth annual Rutland CAMRA beer festival is rapidly approaching as members and beer lovers prepare to sample the best Rutland has to offer as part of the festivities and accompanying beer trail.

Between 27th and 29th June 2025, Rutland CAMRA's popular beer festival will be returning to Rutland County Museum in Oakham for three days of delicious food and drink, live music and the perfect excuse to enjoy a pint in the sun. 

The beer festival will run between 11am and 8pm on the Friday and Saturday and 12pm to 8pm on the Sunday. The event will include live music, over 40 cask and keg beers, 10 different ciders and perries, gin, sparkling wine, hot and cold food, the Sunday dance festival and the full ale trail around Oakham. 

The dance festival will include performances by three local dance troupes. Rutland Morris will make their usual appearance, followed by the Rutland Liners, who will be showing off their line-dancing skills. The final performers have been kept a secret, but the organisers promise they will be a magnificent showstopper.

The event will be free for all CAMRA members to attend, with non-members entry costing just £2.
