Fair City beer fest
The annual Perth Beer Festival returns to the North Inch this weekend.
The popular event organised by Perthshire Rugby is now in its 11th year.
It is a key fundraising initiative to help the club deliver their extensive rugby programme, encouraging community participation in rugby and sport.
Entry is free on Saturday during noon to 6pm.
Visitors can expect rugby Sevens, family friendly activities and bands on the live music stage in the covered marquee alongside an array of craft ales and gins to sample.
Event organiser Allan Brown said: “We look forward to welcoming visitors back to enjoy the atmosphere at this fantastic family-friendly community fundraising event”.
The weekend line- up commences with the £25 ticketed Perth Comedy Night on Friday, May 10, from 6pm with headliner ‘Big’ Garry Little.
On the Saturday there will be a rugby Sevens tournament from 10.30am.
The festival, sponsored by Howden Insurance, will feature more than 20 ales for sampling, alongside batch craft gins in the Craft Gin Bar.
Allan said: “We’ll have a live music stage featuring great bands throughout the afternoon including our huge marquee.
“Families can relax and enjoy the range of familyfriendly activities in our Perth Beer Festival licensed beer garden, including a climbing wall and Rugby Nippers taster sessions.”
The weekend ends with the Saturday evening Big Bash Finale Party from 7pm.
Natalie Mackinnon, of Perthshire Rugby, added: “The Big Bash is a great party night.
“Our band, Circus, and the folks that come along generate a brilliant atmosphere and the dance floor is always packed.
“We look forward to welcoming everyone back.”
Tickets for Saturday night are priced at £20 each and are on sale on the website.
