    CAMRA presents Hungerford Club with Club of the Year 2026 award.

    She’s only gone and done it again! On the Saturday of the Hungerford Club beer festival the club Steward, Debbie Hutchins, was presented with the Club of the Year Award – West Berkshire by a representative from CAMRA.

    Steward Debbie and her team and of volunteers made the Beer Festival such a success.  

    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 Pimms and Prosecco bar broadened the appeal.

    The Best Club of the Year award is a lovely great accolade and recognises all the hard work Debbie puts into selling different real ales and keeping them in tip top condition.

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