DATES for beer festivals in 2008 have now been announced.

Put a note in your diary for June 13-15 when Claverham hosts its beer festival in the village hall.

Then there are only a few weeks to wait until The Royal Artillery in West Huntspill holds another festival from August 30-September 1.

Ale fans will then be heading over to Wedmore Village Hall from September 19-21 for the GR8 Wedmore Real Ale Festival.

The last event in the area will be held at Winscombe Rugby Club and Wrington Vale Rotary will be organising the event.

Ale festivals will be held at venues across Bristol and Somerset throughout the year.
