Welcome to the website for the Nuneaton & Bedworth branch of The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA).
The branch area covers the CV10, CV11 & CV12 postcodes including the Wolvey area of LE10, and parts of CV7 covering Arley & Fillongley.
We currently have over 380 members, all with real ale at heart.
Branch meetings at different pubs and clubs in our area, where we discuss both local and national issues. (check Branch Diary for details)
All CAMRA members and non-members are welcome to join us at any of these gatherings.
We try to cover most of the area over the course of the year but are always open to new suggestions.

*** *** Handpull Hijack *** ***
Carlsberg Marston’s Brewing Company – one of the world’s largest brewery conglomerates – has resorted to misleading consumers by hijacking the handpump to serve its “Fresh Ale” product. CMBC says this is “preserving the beloved hand pull ritual that delivers the traditional theatre of serve that ale is famed for”.
CAMRA believes consumers deserve better than CMBC play acting at serving cask – a product they claim to champion while closing breweries and removing cask lines from bars. Our handpump hijack campaign calls on brewers to be proud of all their whole range of beers by serving them in a way that won’t mislead their customers.

The search is now on for our 2026 Pub of the Year
