The third successful and very popular festival featured 18 real ales from Norfolk and Suffolk. A bus brought many CAMRA real ales on offermembers on Friday and a great time was had by all - several of the beers sold out before the weekend!

Saturday was very busy again and customers were entertained by live music from the Roosters, playing in the bar.

The beers chosen for the festival were
