More than 130 tipples will be on tap at a seafront festival pouring back into town this month.
Eastbourne’s Beer & Cider By The Sea will take place on the Western Lawns from Friday, May 15, to Sunday, May 17, for another packed weekend of entertainment and refreshments.
The annual event promises a "vibrant celebration" of real ales, craft beers, artisan ciders and perries, all carefully curated by CAMRA.
Tickets are available at eastbournebeerfestival.com.
An Eastbourne Borough Council spokesperson said: “Beer & Cider By The Sea is a real celebration of all the brilliant local producers on our doorstep, alongside the biggest tunes from some of our best loved bands.
“Our thanks go to CAMRA, Harvey’s, Long Man Brewery and the 20+ local pubs for their ongoing support in producing one of the widest selections of beer and cider you’ll find in Sussex! With tickets selling fast – don’t miss out what we’re sure will be the festival of the year.”
This year’s festival will include the largest selection of Sussex producers so far with 30 local breweries showcased, and a special tribute to the longtime festival organiser Phil Cozens.
‘Phil’s Beer,’ brewed in his memory by Long Man Brewery, will be available exclusively to CAMRA members.
The weekend’s live entertainment line-up features Fat Freddie & The Queens, a professional Queen tribute act.
The Big Kahuna, a nine-piece party band, will take the stage Saturday afternoon, while LARGE 90s brings a high-energy set of classic dance hits that evening.
Sunday’s entertainment includes Eclectic Dreams, an 80s tribute band.
