The 31st Dorchester Beerex takes place next month at the Corn Exchange, where more than 80 real ales and 21 ciders and perries will be available direct from the cask.

Taking place from 1-2 February, the festival will include seating for more than 100 visitors at all four sessions upstairs in the Corn Exchange, allowing an increase in the number of tickets for this year's event.

The Friday sessions will take place from 11am to 4pm, and from 6.30pm to 11.30pm, with no live entertainment on the day.

Saturday's sessions are from 11am to 4pm, and 6.30pm to 11.30pm, with live music scheduled for the latter.

The event is for over 18s only and there will be hot and cold food served at all sessions.
