YAPTON BEEREX 34

The 34th Yapton Beerex is returning to Yapton and Ford Village Hall, Main Road, Yapton on May 15–17, 2026.

The hall stands on Yapton Village Green, which affords the opportunity for al fresco relaxation over a pint or two. The middle weekends in May have in recent years afforded some great weather, so fingers crossed.

In addition to even more (48) perfectly cooled real cask ales, there will again be a craft beer bar, 15 ciders and perries, and the return of our excellent caterer Hey Amigo!

We are also retaining our world beer bottle fridge, “Biéres Sans Frontières”.

All ales and ciders will have been selected from international, national, and local sources by CAMRA volunteers, who will be on hand to guide you through the various styles.

Session times are below, with ticket prices. You don’t need a ticket for Sunday, but please bring ID if you are lucky enough to look under 25. Children and well-behaved dogs are welcome, and free at all sessions.

Session times and prices

Friday May 15: midday to 9:30pm — £10
Saturday May 16: midday to 9pm — £10
Sunday May 17: 12pm to 3pm — FREE (Drinks choice is likely to be more limited at this session)

THIS YEAR ADVANCE TICKETS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE ONLINE (not in pubs or by post).

Advance Friday and Saturday tickets purchased online by CAMRA members will entitle them to receive £8 worth of beer tokens on arrival at the hall. (The remaining £2 is to cover some of the significant costs of running the festival.)

We really need to manage numbers as we have limited capacity so to encourage online ticket sales, CAMRA members buying tickets on the door (should any be available) will only qualify for £4 worth of beer tokens.

Non-members can get £8 worth of beer tokens if they sign up and join CAMRA on the day. Glasses are again to borrow not to keep. Cash and cards will be accepted for everything with tokens for sale to buy drinks.

The 500 and 700 Stagecoach bus services operate regularly between Littlehampton, Chichester, and beyond (500 from Barnham station) on all 3 days of the festival. Compass route 66 also serves Bognor Regis and local villages on Friday and Saturday mornings and afternoons.

Tickets for Yapton Beerex can be purchased online. A link to the ticketing website can also be found on the QR code on our posters at various venues. Any updates will be posted here, and this site will also link to our interactive beer list in the fullness of time.

Tickets MAY be available on the door, but if they have all been pre-sold, then these are likely to be very limited — so we would recommend purchasing in advance.

If you would like to volunteer to work serving and/or setting up and taking down, please contact Paul on 07940 527045. Beer and food is provided!

Cheers!
