Here's a little more detail about our pub (and specialist beer shop) ticket outlets across Sussex, sorted by CAMRA branch region. Each outlet is a destination in its own right, so why not stop for a pint, a bite to eat or (if in Horsham) some beers to take home?

Note: the list below is based on outlets for the 2011 Festival, and may change.

Descriptions and information, unless otherwise credited, has been sourced and adapted from the invaluable CAMRA Good Beer Guide 2012 (available here); if you'd like to add more, please contact us.
