The CAMRA organising committee for the annual Ascot Racecourse Beer Festival have today issued the following statement regarding the 2020 running of the beer festival:

"Sadly, as a result of the Government restrictions imposed following the outbreak of COVID-19 and the difficulties of maintaining a safe environment for our customers and volunteers we have taken the decision with the Racecourse to cancel the 2020 festival. We hope to be back in 2021."
