Tiverton Beer Festival 2011

TIVERTON Pannier Market hosted the town's first ever beer festival this weekend.
The Tiverton Trade Association which organised the event welcomed hundreds to the even on Sunday 4 September to sample nine varieties of cider and ten different types of ale.
The event was opened at noon by town mayor Cllr Neal Davey and there was live music, drinks and food until 10pm.
Organisers say that close to 1,000 pints of drink was consumed over the ten hours and that police were always on hand to oversee the proceedings.
Money raised from the festival will help raise funds for a new Trade Association website and be donated towards the mayor's charity pot which helps clubs and organisations in Tiverton.
Cllr Sue Griggs of the Tiverton Trade Association said: "There was a lot of organisation involved, it's much more than people would think.
"It's been a really good day and everyone has been really well behaved. Hopefully it will become an annual event."
Tiverton Pannier Market chairman Chris Firth added: "Tiverton Market is a surprising place to visit and we have lots and lots to offer.
"It's been a brilliant day. Lots of people and families are having a good time.
"We've had other festivals here in the market and it's very encouraging and we hope to do more. "
