What's On
Leeds Branch meetings are usually held on the first Tuesday of the month at 19:30, we will try to wrap business up in about 90 minutes. The meetings will follow an agenda to allow business to be conducted swiftly, but they are not overly formal. We use a different venue each month and try to cover the whole Leeds area. Leeds CAMRA social events and other local CAMRA events within easy reach of Leeds will be included on this page once details are known.
Suggestions for branch socials and meeting venues welcome Contact Us.
For a selection of events in the area which CAMRA have not organised see Non-CAMRA Events.
- Leeds City Centre Beer Census
Saturday 25 July 2026 12:30
Brewery Tap
The biennial Leeds City Centre Beer Census takes place on Saturday 25th of July from 12:30 onwards. The survey provides Leeds CAMRA with a snapshot view of the beer scene in Leeds and is a fun way to join in with a serious campaign.
Meet at the Brewery Tap on New Station Street and from there we will split up and survey all pubs in the city centre. The survey is a simple one and each person will only be expected to visit a reasonable number of pubs - you can even have a drink in some of them if you wish! After you have surveyed your pubs return to the Brewery Tap to record your findings which will then be collated with all the surveys and later will be published.
Anyone wanting to take part as a team or individual should register at a Leeds CAMRA meeting or contact the organiser ku.gro.armac.sdeel@rerusaert. Registration is preferred to be before the survey day so that we can allocate pubs on a fair basis.
