Taking place over the weekend of 10th-12th September, the Beer, Music and Poetry Festival returns to Waverley Park Holiday Centre, East Cowes next week.

All proceeds from beers sales at this annual event go to charity and in previous years around £2,000 per year has been raised for charities such as the Motor Neurone Disease Association, The British Heart Foundation, Isle of Wight Search and Rescue as well as Mountbatten.
