The local CAMRA branch's 19th Real Ale Festival on 5th & 6th September will be held this year at The Buttermarket. Is this because the usual venue, The Music Hall, will be closed due to the renovation works?

I can answer my own question! I am told that it's on financial grounds as The Buttermark proved to be a far more reasonable venue this year than The Music Hall.

I'll say 'cheers' to that! ;)
