Here's a date for your diary as Dorchester Beerex is back.

Organisers, West Dorset Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), and charity partner, Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary Club, are delighted to announce that the 33rd Dorchester Beerex, held in the Corn Exchange, will be taking place in February.

The popular event, which attracts beer connoisseurs from near and far, along with local customers, returns on Friday, February 4 and Saturday, February 5 with lunchtime and evening sessions.

Organisers are in the early stages of planning the event and are looking to provide entertainment in the evening sessions and the popular raffle at all sessions.

Palmer's Brewery in Bridport is once again the main festival sponsor and past barrel sponsors will be contacted in the near future.

The festival's main principle charity will be the Dorset Youth and Community Centre on Kings Road.

Since the event started in 1988, the festival has raised more than £200,000 for good local causes.

Rich Gabe, of Dorchester Beerex, said: "We are really looking forward to providing our customers with a great selection of beers and ciders, we missed the event in 2021 due to Covid and we look forward to welcoming regular and new customers to Beerex, promoting the UK brewing scene while also raising funds for worthwhile causes."
