Friday, 4 April 2014 00:00

The Bishop of Sodor and Man, Robert Paterson, will formally open the Island’s annual Beer Festival.

Organisers have arranged to present visitors with 125 different beers, ciders and perries from all five of the Island's breweries - which will be available over the two-day event.

There will be a series of presentations to the RNLI, raised by Bushy’s and the 2013 CAMRA Festival.

The festival will take place at the Masonic Hall on Woodbourne Road in Douglas.

Bishop Paterson says it gets better year-on-year:
