Cheers! Yeovil to serve up a Beer Festival

THE Yeovil Beer Festival is on its way!Cheers! Yeovil to serve up a Beer Festival

The festival will be held from 6pm to 11pm on Friday, April 5, and from 12noon to 11pm on Saturday, April 6, at YeovilCollege in Mudford Road.

There will be real ales, ciders, wine, music and great hot food and it will be an event for all – and not just for your stereo-typical real ale drinker of big beard and chunky woolly jumper.

The community event is a joint venture between Yeovil Round Table, Lions Club of Yeovil and staff and students of YeovilCollege to raise money for local causes.

More than 1,000 beer enthusiasts from across South Somerset are expected to sample the 50 real ales and ten traditional ciders.

Hot food is being supplied by catering students from YeovilCollege, while live music will be provided by six local bands who have pledged their support.

Russell Lee, speaking on behalf of Yeovil Round Table, said: ‘’Real Ales are growing in popularity and we hope that this event will be held annually.

‘’Not only will it be a great day out, but it is also a great opportunity to support local causes.’’

Steven Lowrie, manager of the Da Vinci Restaurant at Yeovil College, said: ‘’This gives our students a great opportunity to get involved with a fundraising event and it has the added bonus of helping to raise money for the Yeovil College Bursary Foundation.’’

Chairman of the YCBF, Jo Roundell-Greene, said: ‘’We are thrilled that Yeovil College students are working with the Round Table and the Lions Club of Yeovil to put on this event.

‘’It is so important that we are able to get involved in local events such as these that enable us to boost our fundraising activities to ensure that we can continue to give bursaries in the future.’’

Sponsorship opportunities are available for this event with different packages starting from just £70. If you would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities please call 01935-414888.
