For those who have never been to a beer festival before it can be quite daunting - how do I buy my beer, how much will it cost and how can distinguish between the different beer styles? The following guide will hopefully provide you with all the answers - if you have a query during the festival please contact one of our stewards who will be wearing fluorescent jackets and will be happy to answer any of your questions. This information is also in the festival programme which you will receive with your glass upon entering the venue - have a happy and safe festival - enjoy! Disabled Access
