Vote for Pub of the Season Summer 2025
If you are a current member of the Halifax & Calderdale Branch of CAMRA you can vote for the Pub of the Season here.
Do you drink Real Ale?
Cask Ale is unique to the UK – a historic and traditional production and serving method. It’s vital we protect cask ale from further decline.
Following the UK’s ratification of UNESCO’s Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, we call on the Government to recognise production and serving of traditional British cask ale as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
Please consider signing this petition:- Recognise the production and serving of cask ale as Intangible Cultural Heritage
We hope CAMRA Halifax and Calderdale members will continue to support the pubs, clubs and bars in the branch area.
If you wish to contact us at this branch please complete this form.
When visiting pubs, clubs and bars, please remember to score on WhatPub. Not sure how to score beers? Click here.
A summary of changes made to the branch’s WhatPub details can be found here.
We are sending regular emails on local initiatives to those with up to date email addresses. For those not registered for email communication now might be a good time to register.
You can update your membership records by logging into the CAMRA national web site, then you can go to the ‘Personal Details’ and `Marketing Preferences’ sections to update your contact details so the branch is able to keep you informed of any developments and news from our branch and its activities.
We have a Pulling Together Group to share information about what pubs, clubs and brewers are doing at this time of crisis in the industry.
Visit the National CAMRA Site for information on what CAMRA campaigns for and how you can get involved. There is also information on upcoming events such as Beer Festivals.
