Hide AdRobert Lindsay, organiser of the Happening, said: “Just like everyone else, our volunteers have been busy getting ready for Christmas – but we’ve also been hard at work putting together next year’s Midsummer Beer Happening in Stonehaven. After all, there’s nothing like looking forward to midsummer to drive away the bleak midwinter blues.


“In fact, we’re so excited about how it’s shaping up we wanted to give everyone the great news about when and where it will be – look for our stunning marquee in Baird Park again – and to kick off our on-sale with the Cycle Sportive.
“We know how cyclists want to get an early start, especially when they have the choice of the four stunning – and challenging – routes to enjoy over the rolling Mearns countryside.”
Other Happening fans – old and new – won’t have long to wait until they can start grabbing their tickets for the glorious three-day event which is a celebration of the best in beer, food and music, staged in a purpose-built marquee.
