CAMRA presents Hungerford Club with Club of the year 2025 award.

A big thank you to Debbie and her team and all of the members who made the Beer Festival such a success.  It was so successful that we had to close on the bar on Tuesday morning because we had sold out of everything!

A huge amount of planning goes in to make sure we have the beers, ciders, food, and the live music for this three day event. The bespoke printing on the keep-or-return cups and the aprons was a great idea and the addition of a Pimms and Prosecco bar broadened the appeal.

On the Saturday of the Hungerford Club beer festival the club Steward, Debbie Hutchins, was presented with the Best Social Club in West Berkshire Award by a representative from CAMRA. This is a lovely accolade and recognises all the hard work Debbie does selling different real ales and keeping them in tip top condition.

This is the sixth year that the club has won the Club of the year award.

Hungerford Club hosts launch of the Good Beer Guide 2025

On Monday, 30th September the club hosted the launch of the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

It was fitting that the club host the launch since we are the recipient of the Central Southern Region Club of the Year for two years in a row – 2023 and 2024.
