Norwich Beer Festival has been held at The Halls, previously known as St Andrews Hall, in the city centre, since 1977, with only three breaks, one in 1989, and two more recently, in 2020 because of the pandemic and in 2024-25 as critical repairs were being carried out at The Halls. More details about past festivals can be found here.

The festival is organised by Norwich & District CAMRA, and staffed entirely by volunteers, and sells around 40,000 pints each year, and will be back at The Halls from October 26th-31st 2026 – more details here.
