and many more.

We've secured two groups of six tickets to the festival worth $90 each. We'll be giving one away via our Facebook page so keep an eye out for that appearing on February 8.
And we're offering the other to Crafty Pint supporters who've signed up to our beer lovers bonus scheme The Crafty Cabal. Members can enter the ballot now; if you want to sign up or find out more about it, head here.
We'll pick winners for both competitions on February 17 so you've still got time to buy tickets if you miss out.
