Beer Festival Cancelled After Council Ban Food And Drink
A Camra beer festival has been cancelled after White Horse District Council, in Oxfordshire, introduced new rules that do not allow vendors to bring food and drink to the festival venue.
The festival, organised the White Horse branch of the Campaign for Real Ale, has run for six years and been held for the last three in the White Horse Civic Hall.
Last year the Civic Hall, which is owned by the council, was renamed as the Beacon and a new policy was introduced that forbids event organisers from bringing their own food or drink into the venue.
White Horse Camra said that the policy had left them unable to run the event and with no time to secure a new venue. A new event has been arranged for March 2015.
It is understood that the council will run its own beer festival in the Beacon in October.
