Organisers from the Somer Valley Rotary Club are gearing up for this year’s Wessex Beer, Cider and Music Festival, which they hope will be better than ever when it kicks off on Friday, 1st September.

The event’s main sponsor is local company, Etavoni engineering, based in Radstock, who were officially welcomed by the club recently.

Paula Talbot, from the Wessex Beer Festival, said: “On behalf of the Wessex Beer Festival, we would like to thank Etavoni for their generous support this year.”

Joanne Watts, Company Secretary, Etavoni, added: “We are thrilled to be sponsoring the Wessex Beer Festival this year, it is such a great event which raises so much money for good causes.

“We know Somer Valley Rotary Club work hard to help so many people locally and internationally, and we as a company are proud to support all that they do.”

This year’s festival will see 28 real ales and 35 ciders feature, including the festival’s own, ‘Wessex Wallop’!

The whole event is under cover and will feature music from local bands and hot food. All profit goes to local charities.
