Eastbourne Beer Festival returns to the Winter Garden next week with a "tantalising" selection of brews.

The two-day festival will be held on Friday and Saturday, October 7 and 8 and feature, what we're told is, an "award-winning selection" of real ales, ciders and bottled beer from around the world, as well as wine, gin, perries and soft drinks.

There'll also be live music from the likes of Zachary Dogwood, Bowie Music, Watson Brothers and Hot Detroit and hot and cold will also be available - so no one's drinking on an empty stomach.

Eastbourne Borough Council's Head of tourism and Culture, Annie Wills, said:

“Eastbourne Beer Festival really is a fantastic fun event in the town’s social calendar. Beer enthusiasts come from all over and the festival guarantees award-winning drinks, brilliant live music in a super setting with a wonderful atmosphere.

“It is particularly good to see that this year's selection includes hot drinks from even more Sussex breweries and new local breweries producing new brews. It's all very exciting and I hope that everyone has a great time."

Sessions for the festival are as follows:

Friday and Saturday 11.30am-4.30pm and 6pm - 11pm both days.

Friday afternoon is a quiet session, with the opportunity to be the first to sample what's on offer with a background of pre-recorded mellow music.

The Winter Garden is located within the Devonshire Quarter. The entry fee includes a free festival glass and a set of tasting notes.

It's a cashless event, so customers will need to buy drinks tokens, with cash or card, from the sales desk upon arrival.

Tickets can be bought from www. eastbournebeerfestival.co.uk
