Farnham Beerex 2025

Thursday 28 November 2024

See Farnham Beerex for dates and times.

Visiting the Beerex

Tickets give entry to the Beerex, a Beerex pint polyglass, a souvenir programme and live music at each session, apart from Friday lunchtime which will be a quiet session with tables and chairs laid out in the Great Hall.

Farnham Maltings provide food at all sessions and there will again be a variety of street food vendors located immediately outside the Maltings with easy access to them.

Latest details about Beerex can be found at www.farnhambeerex.org.uk.

Volunteering at the Beerex

Organisation for Beerex 2025 has started and we always need Beerex volunteers to organise and run the event. If you worked at Beerex 2024 then you will receive a staff recruitment email. If you would like to volunteer for Beerex 2025 then please use the Beerex contact form.

The staffing form identifies the Setup and Take-down tasks, which are mostly physical, plus the beer serving sessions when Beerex is open, which are also physical.

Additionally, there are many other essential but sometimes overlooked background tasks which are less physical and not so intense as serving beer. These are the mysterious “admin” tasks which support the smooth running of Beerex and can often only require a few hours of your time. Such tasks, in no particular order, include the following:-

  • Entrance ticket scanning on the door
  • Helping to direct customers around the building and control queues
  • Selling Beer Token Cards to customers using credit/debit card scanners
  • Supervising the customer collection of their polyglass
  • Staff room desk work to sign in Beerex volunteers
  • CAMRA/Information stand to promote CAMRA membership, provide information to customers and often chat with friends!

If you have worked at Beerex in the past then you will probably recognise these tasks, if you are a newcomer and wish to help then full training and instruction will be provided. Cheers, we hope to see you at Beerex, and please help if you can!
