    Hey guys
    Just back from the GBBF in London and I loved it. Ill be back fro more next year.
    With that in mind I hope to try more real ale and Im looking at options for a fest or other holiday option from you guys. Im planning on sometimes from Jan - June ( I wanna save holidays for GGBF).
    Flights available are Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Leeds/Bradford.
    any suggestions for a Camra fest or other beercation?
    Thanks
    Tim

    Thats a great list, thanks. I have been doing some solo research and Im thinking Bristol might be a nice one. And for non-fest visit maybe York.

    Bristol is Awesome! The Mrs lived there prior to moving up north when we got wed so I spent many a weekend down there and it has only improved in the intervening years. Small Bar, Grain Barge, The Orchard, The Bag Of Nails, Coronation Tap, Merchants Arms etc.
    York: Rook and Gaskill. Three Legged Mare, The Last Drop, The York Tap, The Blue Bell, The Guy Fawkes Inn, SOoooo many good pubs you'll be spoilt for choice

    Echo what Aye is saying above. I live in Bristol and it really is a great happening place to visit for quality ale. At the end of the month there is Bristol Beer Week with loads of great events including the first Bristol Craft Beer Festival :

    Other highlight is the CAMRA beer festival in March :

    Great mixture of pubs, micropubs, microbreweries etc. being added to with the likes of Wild Beer Co. being a recent addition. Arbor, Moor, Left Handed Giant, Good Chemistry, Dawkins, Wiper and True all great local breweries with others like Lost and Grounded just starting up.
    Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, The Lime Kiln (my fave), The Beer Emporium, Brewdog, The Barley Mow, The Three Tuns, The Drapers Arms to add to the above bar list.
