Welcome CAMRA members aren't stereotypes

The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) is a well-established, national organisation with more than 90,000 members, which aims to promote traditional real ale and pubs.

CAMRA is organised into local branches run by volunteers; you have reached the home page of the York branch, Yorkshire's oldest. We cover an extensive geographical area, which includes Selby, Tadcaster and rural parts of North and East Yorkshire, as well as the city of York itself. Our 600 members participate in a lively programme of social events, produce a regular newsletter and stage an annual beer festival.

Any feedback on the site or queries about York CAMRA should be directed to the appropriate contact.

News and Campaigns
York Camra's first Ale Trail launches on Friday 3rd July 2009.

Have a look at the Ale Trail page for full details.

Save Our Pubs With the most recent Beer & Pub Association report highlighting that 39 pubs are closing every week, CAMRA has to do more than ever to support local pubs through these difficult times.

CAMRA's own research shows that 84% of people believe a pub is as essential to village life as a shop or post office. Despite their popularity pubs are still under threat and need our help.

CAMRA is calling on everyone to join the Save Our Pubs campaign to put a stop to the closure of British pubs.

Information on our weeks of action and activities, forums and available resources can be found here.
