What beers are available?

What else is on offer?

Beer won't be the only offering at the festival however, as organisers look to appeal to their '˜wide-ranging' fan base with bars flowing with prosecco, cider and gin.

The latter is set to be complemented by traditional tonic, expert insight and '˜all the matching botanicals'.

And for those feeling the effects of a few swift-halves, food stalls will be on-hand to soak up the tipsiness with scrumptious helpings of street cuisine.

There will also be live entertainment.

How much are tickets?

Tickets are priced at £10 (plus a booking fee) per person, per session.

The ticket will include a souvenir glass, programme and beer.

Where can I buy tickets? 

Tickets can be bought in advance from the Ticketmaster website or from the Merchant House in Highland Road, Southsea.
