We already had plans for a smaller-scale beer event next weekend but we’ve decided to throw caution to the wind and go large instead!’

The festival will offer 14 taps of keg beer from UK breweries, two hand-pulled ciders, bottle shares - where people can ‘buy in’ to taste exclusive larger bottles - and hotdogs.

The event is set to be a busy festival, with 42 already having responded on the Facebook event.
