Cheers! Villagers roll out the barrel

Real ale fans are in for a treat when the second CAMRA beer festival is held in Eaton Bray at the weekend, following last year's successful inaugural event.

The Campaign for Real Ale festival will see live music on Friday and Saturday evening, as well as beer and cider chosen especially for the event.

Lager and wine will also be on sale, as well as soft drinks and hot and cold food.

Friday will see guitarist Paul Green, who has performed with Suzi Quatro, playing at 8pm, while the Shambles big band will get the festival swinging on Saturday at 8pm.

Magician David Andrews will keep all the family entertained on Saturday from 2pm.

Last year's festival raised £2,000 towards the village hall refurbishment and it is hoped to repeat the success this year.

The festival will run on Friday from 6pm to 11pm, Saturday from noon to 11pm and Sunday from noon to 3pm at Eaton Bray Village Hall in Church Lane.

Admission on Friday and Saturday is by raffle ticket, which costs £2 per adult in advance or £3 on the day. Children go free and there is no admission charge for Sunday.
