The Heavitree Brewery PLC, in line with its stated policy of returning value to
shareholders, has, on 6 March 2008 purchased the following of its own shares for
cancellation:

total number of Ordinary Shares in issue.


73,583 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares of 5p at £10.25 per share representing
2.19% of the total number of 'A' Limited Voting Ordinary Shares in issue.



For the purposes of the Financial Services Authority's Disclosure and
Transparency Rules ('DTR'), the Company notifies the market that following the
cancellation of the above shares the Company's share capital will comprise
