Troon is hosting Scotland's largest Real Ale Festival this weekend as a major drinks event returns after a Covid-enforced break of two years.
Organised by the Ayrshire and Wigtownshire branch of CAMRA, the Ayrshire Real Ale Festival is now underway at Troon Concert Hall.
As well as Ales from local brewers such as Ayr Brewing Company and Isle of Arran Brewery, the main bar boasts Ales from all over the UK, whilst The Walker Hall bar has a Manchester brewers theme.
Pints start from £3.60, 1/2 and 1/3 pint measures are available to allow you to sample a wider variety of Ales.
If you’d prefer a different drink to Ale, then there is plenty of choice. The event includes a range of perries, ciders, wine and a gin bar.
Live entertainment tonight (Friday) is provided by Binky Blue, and tomorrow night from the Lynsey Dolan band. The Blackrock Pipe Band will play a few sessions tomorrow afternoon.
The Festival opens its doors today between 11am and 11pm and on Saturday from 11am till 10pm.
Only over 18s are allowed to enter the festival, and no dogs are able to enter apart from registered assistance dogs. Full information is available at www.ayrshirebeerfestival.co.uk/
Tickets cost £5 for CAMRA members and £7 for non members. The ticket price includes a glass which can also be used as a pass to re-enter the festival.
