DEVIZES Beer Festival will this year support the local charity Charlotte's Chance of Life.

The charity was set up by Wendy Bryant after her granddaughter, Charlotte Wakeham, fell ill with a rare form of cancer.

Even four years after Charlotte died at the age of eight, Mrs Bryant is still raising money for cancer research and to help children with other life-threatening diseases.

The festival will take place at Devizes Wharf on Saturday July 5 when 50 real ales as well as ciders and perries will be on offer.

There will be live entertainment from Same Old Faces, Fat Freddy's Cat, Bird Jaguar, Clare Kearley, Tom Harris, Perfect Patch, Devizes Town Band and the Wyvern Band.

Tickets, £6, are on sale at Devizes Books and the British Lion in Estcourt Street.
