COVID-19 Coronavirus

It is with great sadness that we announce that we have taken the difficult decision to postpone Southampton Beer Festival 2020, following government advice on mass gatherings. The safety of our customers, volunteers, and the venue staff is paramount to us.

These are exceptionally difficult times for our pubs and brewers. We will all still visit supermarkets to buy food (unless in isolation), so please also support our local real ale pubs by visiting them with take-away liquid containers and our local breweries for off sales.

Home Volunteering

Volunteering

The volunteer-organisers of Southampton Beer Festival are reliant upon other volunteers to help run the event.

If you are interested in volunteering then please let us know by filling in a staffing form.

All our volunteers will get food and refreshments during each session they work, and are invited to our Post-Festival Party after some take-down on Saturday 20th June — food and beer included for those who have helped with the Saturday take-down session.

We will also have a social on Sunday 21st June from about 16:00 onwards at Steam Town Brew Co., Eastleigh — some beer will be provided for those who have helped with the Sunday take-down session.

If you have any questions, please email staffing2020@southamptonbeerfestival.org.uk (on or before Tuesday 16th June 2020) or phone Nigel on 07977 364428.

Your details will never be passed on to third parties and your details will only be used to communicate with you regarding Southern Hampshire CAMRA's beer festivals.

* As Saturday is a long session there are options to volunteer for the whole session or just the first or second parts of it.

Don't forget, all our volunteers are invited to our Post-Festival Social on Sunday 21st June from about 16:00 onwards — some food and beer included for those who have helped with the Sunday take-down session.

Unlike other festivals organised by Southern Hampshire CAMRA, the venue prohibits food and drink being brought into the festival. The venue will be selling a range of food and soft drinks for consumption at the festival.
