Piers Thompson, external relations director of St Austell Brewery, added: “One of the great things about the Celtic Beer Festival is that it raises a huge amount of money for our Charitable Trust which helps so many important causes in our South West heartland.

“We recently hit the milestone of raising more than £1 million since the charity was established which is just fantastic.

“Festival ticket sales alone have raised more than £20,000 for the trust since the event was first launched in 1999, so we can’t wait to raise even more this November.”

Doors for the festival will open at 11am. Tickets will cost £30 and will be available on the door at St Austell Brewery. Each ticket will include two pint tokens.
