May sees the return of Chester's longest-running beer festival, which will be celebrating its landmark 25th year (16-18 May at Chester Rugby Club).
The Chester Charity Beer Festival attracts more than 2,000 visitors from across the region to its annual event. On offer are over 120 ales, ciders and perries, showcasing many of the best local independent breweries, together with a selection of the finest beers from the rest of the UK.
The annual beer festival has become known as one of the liveliest social events in Chester’s calendar with several bands providing entertainment, a yard of ale contest, and a fantastic BBQ. The event gets excellent support from the locals, regularly selling out before the doors are open.
Tickets and further information are available from www.chesterbeerfestival.co.uk/
