THIS weekend will see the 11th staging of Grappenhall's annual beer festival.

On both Friday and Saturday night, starting at 7.30pm, there will be live music to complement the more than 20 real ales on offer at Grappenhall Community Centre on Bellhouse Lane.

Organisers are urging people to buy tickets early to avoid disappointment - especially for the Friday evening and soft drinks are free.

For more information, or to buy your tickets, contact 268633 or drop into the centre.
