There will be an amazing 70 ales from Scotland on offer, as well as 15 ciders.
Burgers and bangers are available and there’ll be lots of live music and entertainment too, including the hugely popular oompah band!

The real stars of the show will be the real ales though! All the festival beers will be in the outside bar – but make sure you buy tokens from the main bar first. A half costs £1.50.
