TICKETS are now on sale for Dorchester’s Beerex.

The popular beer festival takes place on February 4-5 and real ale lovers are being encouraged to get their tickets early.

The event, organised by West Dorset CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) and the Dorchester Round Table, will see over 80 real ales along with cider and perry.

It will be the 24th Beerex festival and over the years it has raised more than £60,000 for good causes.

The Dorset Piddle Brewery will again be the main sponsors.

Tickets for the two lunchtime and two evening sessions range from £3 to £5, with food available at all sessions and live music in the evenings.

They are available from the Dorchester TIC in Antelope Walk, The Blue Raddle pub in Dorchester or from the Boot pub in Weymouth.
