Why not welcome in the New Year with a tipple, bevvie or bib?

The fouth annual Pendle Beer Festival takes place from Thursday 31 January until Saturday 2 February.

The Campaign For Real Ale is behind the event and this year's theme will be 'All at Sea'. As the theme indicates, many of the featured beers will have a nautical connection.

Last year it was attended by over 1,900 people and raised over £2000 for Pendleside Hospice. The event is entirely run by volunteers.

As it was last year, the event will once again take place at the Colne Municipal Hall, Albert Road. For more details about the event, including how to become a volunteer, beers that will feature and info on last year's winners visit the Pendle Beer Festival's Website, link below.
