Beer festival tickets still up for grabs

Proving conclusively that Lewesians are more than partial to a drop of grog, the 12th Southdowns Beer and Cider Festival at Lewes Town Hall has sold for the friday night session.

The event takes place on June 20 and June 21 and features 60 quality real ales.

Peter Mitchell, a festival organiser, said: 'As usual the Friday night has proved immensely popular with all the tickets sold out three weeks in advance.

'There are tickets still available for the session on Saturday but these are selling fast.

'No tickets are required for the Friday lunchtime session and entry to the festival is free after 5pm on Saturday, if there is any beer left!

There will also be a large selection of ciders, perries, bottled beers and county wines.

Tickets are on sale at the Harveys Brewery Shop and Gardeners Arms in Cliffe High Street.
