The 6th CAMRA Isle of Man Beer and Cider Festival returns once again to the Villa Marina in April and aims to build on the huge success of last year’s Festival where over 3,000 visitors enjoyed a vast array of real ales, ciders, perries and fruit wines.
The Festival takes place a week before Easter, from Thursday, 6th April to Saturday, 8th April. As with last year’s Festival, the bars will be situated in the magnificent Royal Hall which has ample room for visitors including plenty of seating space for a relaxed and leisurely experience. There will be over 150 real ales, plus a large variety of ciders, perries and fruit wines. In all there will be something on offer to suit all tastes and palates.
As usual there will be food on offer as well as a comprehensive acoustic music programme on Friday and Saturday evenings. The Grand National steeplechase will again be screened on Saturday afternoon.
An innovation this year is the siting of the entire Festival on the ground floor – meaning everything the festival goers require will be within easy reach. The entertainments stage will be situated within the Royal Hall alongside the bars, and food will be available in the Joe Loss suite, just off the Royal Hall.
Tickets have been pegged at last year’s prices of ?5 per session and will be available in advance from the VillaGaiety box office, the Welcome Centre at the Sea Terminal and on-line. They will also be available on the day. Details will be announced shortly.
