THE Dobwalls Beer Festival has once again shown its incredible community spirit by donating £4,000 to the Cornwall Air Ambulance.

The much-loved, annual event is well known for celebrating great beer, cider and live entertainment, but equally it plays a vital role in supporting local causes.

A highlight on the calendar since 2009, the festival has now raised almost £30,000 for the life-saving service.

Despite the challenging weather, festival-goers’ spirits remained undamped with everyone enjoying a fantastic time.

Looking ahead to this year’s festival, which will be held July 25-26, the committee are planning to elevate the event even further, partnering with Dobwalls Football Club, who will host the festival, ensuring a bigger and better experience.

Although the format will stay largely unchanged, among the exciting new additions is a family fun day on the Saturday.
