Event Details

Join us on Saturday 24 Friday 2nd October for a relaxed day of great beer, real cider and good company as we visit two outstanding Good Beer Guide pubs in Dursley.

Our day begins at The Hoptician, an award-winning micropub that opened in May 2024 in the former premises of a local optician – hence its distinctive name. Five carefully selected beers are served alongside locally produced real ciders, with additional outdoor seating available for fine weather.

At 1:30pm, we will present The Hoptician with the West Central CAMRA Regional Cider Pub of the Year Award.
Just 4 minutes away is The Old Spot, a former National Pub of the Year. This charming 18th-century free house takes its name from the famous Gloucestershire Old Spot pig and offers a wonderfully traditional atmosphere, complete with low ceilings, a welcoming wood-burning fire and an impressive collection of brewery memorabilia. It serves up to eight regular real ales.
Travel & Timings
There are regular train services to Cam & Dursley station from both Cheltenham and Gloucester. From the station, Dursley is approximately three miles away and can be reached by the Stagecoach 65 bus or by sharing a taxi with fellow attendees.
  • 12.00–2.00pm – Meet at The Hoptician
  • 1.30pm – Regional Cider Pub of the Year presentation at The Hoptician
  • 3.00pm move on to The Old Spot
We hope you can join us for what promises to be an enjoyable social afternoon celebrating two excellent pubs and the very best of real ale and cider.
Brett Laniosh – Regional Director
Andrea Bennett – Regional Cider Coordinator
Peter Bennetts – Area & County Coordinator

KBCF is Back!
After a year’s break in 2025, we are delighted to announce the return of the Kidderminster Beer & Cider Festival. It will take place from Thursday 12th to Saturday 14th November 2026, and again we will be at the Kidderminster Harriers Social & Supporters Club.
As one of relatively few CAMRA festivals taking place in the final months of the year, we would be grateful if you could share this good news with your branch e.g. via newsletter or other comms.
The festival webpage at https://www.wyreforest.camra.org.uk/viewnode.php?id=221189 will be developed further in coming weeks.
Advanced ticket sales – including free entry for CAMRA members – are live at Kidderminster Beer & Cider Festival 2026 – Tckty.
We can only run the festival with the help of our amazing volunteers, who greet visitors, keep everyone safe and of course serve the beers and other drinks. Please consider volunteering at: https://form.jotform.com/261314247188357. Festivals are a great opportunity to come together to promote CAMRA and enjoy real ales, ciders and perries. 
We hope to see you in November. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please get in touch with us at volunteer@wyreforest.camra.org.uk.
