Edinburgh-based Brew Master and Director of Ferry Brewery, Mark Moran, says, “We are very excited to be hosting the first ever Ferry Fest event.

“As far as records show, there’s never been an event like this the size of what we are expecting come the big day.

“As well as the four award winning breweries, food is due to be served by Mimi’s Bakehouse, Casa Roble, Pizza Geeks and Down The Hatch Café & Bistro.

“Entertainment will be supplied by well-known entertainer, musician, South Queensferry’s Graeme Pearson, musician, Sophie De Rose and a DJ set from Envisia.
