IT'S unbeerlievable how time flies. The sixth Plymouth Beer Festival is nearly here again.

There'll be at least 145 real ales and ciders available at the Pavilions on July 24 and 25 – plus drinkers can enjoy barrels of fun from those well-aged 'scrumpy and Western' performers The Wurzels.

The festival is run in association with Plymouth Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) and opens at noon and finishes at 11pm on both days.

General admission is £4, and £7 after 6pm on Wurzelsday (Saturday).

You can pay on the door, but to be sure of hearing the Combine Harvester in all its 1970s glory book in advance for the Saturday evening by calling the box office on 0845 146 1460 or going to visit www.plymouthpavilions.com.
