Date announced for tickets to 31st East Anglian Beer and Cider Festival in Bury St Edmunds

The date to get tickets for the 31st East Anglian Beer and Cider Festival at St Edmundsbury Cathedral in Bury St Edmunds has been announced.

The popular event, which has been running since 1991 and raised more than £150,000 for charities and good cause in that time, will be releasing a limited number of tickets on Saturday.

These tickets will offer discounts and guarantee fast track admission to the festival which showcased around 300 beers last year.

Martin Bate, beer festival organiser, said: "Making the first tranche of tickets available reminds us the festival is now only four months away.

We so excited to be working with St Edmundsbury Cathedral again to stage what promises to be our biggest and best yet.

"We are working hard with our charity partners, including St Nicholas’s Hospice, Women’s Royal Army Voluntary Corps and other local fundraisers, to ensure we have another successful year.

"We are already inundated with interest following two years’ success at the cathedral. We are clearly on the map as one of the Country’s premier events of this type and I am anticipating it will be a sell-out."

This year’s event will run for six days from August 23 to 28 and tickets can be bought from www.burystedmundsbeerfestival.com
