Take a ferry to Belgium for the Beer Weekend

Ferries to Belgium could prove a popular option in September when the country's capital city plays host to a festival celebrating beer.

The 12th edition of the Belgian Beer Weekend will take place on Grand Place in Brussels from September 3rd to 5th.

Visitors will have the opportunity to sample a diverse range of alcoholic beverages while enjoying some of the special entertainment and events that are arranged for the festival.

Travellers can reach Belgium by taking ferries from Hull to Zeebrugge with P&O, while Norfolkline provides ferries from Rosyth to Zeebrugge.

The festival will get underway on the Friday afternoon with a celebration of Saint-Arnould, the patron saint of brewers, and the inauguration of the beer stands before the full public opening at 18:00 local time.

At least 50 breweries of different sizes will be taking part in the event, giving visitors the opportunity to sample the full range of beers on offer throughout Belgium.

Other highlights of the weekend will include displays and parades of old brewery carts and beer wagons.

Holidaymakers heading to Belgium this year can also take ferries from Ramsgate to Ostend with TransEuropa Ferries, which operates the route in partnership with LD Lines.
