32nd Beer & Trades Exhibition

Friday April 19, 2024 - 1:00pm - 5:00pm
Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool

Hundreds of licensed clubs from across the UK are heading to Blackpool next month for the annual Beer & Trades Exhibition to meet suppliers for a busy day of networking.

The annual exhibition, run by the Club & Institute Union (CIU) showcases every element of licensed club life whilst retaining a traditional and informal ‘networking-pie-and-pint' atmosphere. Held the day before the CIU's AGM, this represents the most important get-together of the Union's affiliated clubs during 2024.
