THE ever-popular Nailsea and Backwell Beer and Cider Festival returns next month – and you can have a drink on us as we are offering four lucky readers the chance to win tickets to this year’s event.
The three-day festival, which starts on July 13, will offer more than 100 different beers and ciders, while crowds can be entertained by a number of local bands who will be playing throughout the weekend.
And to ensure the feel-good atmosphere remains, a variety of attractions and stalls will be open, suitable for the whole family.
The festival, based at Nailsea & Backwell Rugby Club in West End Lane, celebrates its ninth year in 2012.
As well as attracting thousands of people from across the South West every year, charity remains a focus for the festival. This year it will support St Peter’s Hospice.
Over the past eight years more than �50,000 has been raised for important causes including Children’s Hospice South West and Nailsea Army Cadets.
Tickets, priced �7-9, are available from the rugby club, Corner Stores, John Brown’s and Gilly’s Caf� in Nailsea. Alternatively you can buy a ticket on the gate.
The price includes entry for all three days, a commemorative beer glass and your first beer or cider. For more information visit www.applefest.co.uk.
