CAMRA supports and campaigns for cider and perry throughout the year, and we spotlight it with celebrations in July, during which time our local branches organise cider and perry events across the country (This previously was held In May and October but moved to July in 2025).

Unlike real ale production, which can happen at any time of the year, real cider and perry is generally a seasonal product and can only be made when the fruit is ripe. Production is tied to a natural cycle of the apple and perry pear trees found in orchards around the country.
