Event organisers The Village Pop Up are back with their Beats and Eats event – which this year takes place on Saturday, September 10 and Sunday, September 11, at Castle Field, Southsea.

You can expect a host of great bands, banging tunes from the DJs, fantastic street food stalls with delicious dishes from around the world, bars serving a range of drinks including craft beer and cocktails, as well as a host of products on sale from quality independent businesses.

And, whilst all this will keep the grown-ups entertained, there’s plenty for kids too with a bouncy castle, soft play area, mini golf and balloon fun already lined up.
