If you're visiting Ely, the local branch has negotiated a 50% discount on admission to Ely Museum for any CAMRA member for the duration of their "Who Brewed Beer" exhibition which is on until 26th April 26.

The special exhibition covers Ely brewers making the finest ales since Anglo Saxon Times which explores the local brewing heritage from the perspective of the people who did the brewing.

The Museum is situated in The Old Gaol on the corner of Market Street and Lynn Road, Ely, CB7 4LS, and is well worth a visit. Just show your valid CAMRA membership card and get entry for £3.50 instead of £7!
