Would be Okay to turn up on Thursday the 12th for the preview night
I am a CAMRA member.
Hi Paul,
Yes that’s fine. The preview night is open to members and CAMRA members. We should have the final list of beers available in a couple of days. It will be on the website and in an ale mail.
Is it possible to just pay on the door on the day rather than purchasing tickets in advance?
Hi Joe,
If you are a club or CAMRA member then you can just pay on the door. However if you’re not a club member then you need to purchase a ticket in advance so that we can make you temporary club members for the day of your visit. We look forward to seeing you.
