Marketing manager Jen Swindells said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.

“It will allow us, during a 12-day period, to showcase a selection of value-for-money beers, including those from overseas.

“It will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy several beers which have not previously been available in the pubs, as well as those brewed especially for the festival.”

Tasting notes on all of the beers will be available in pubs as part of the festival magazine (a digital version will be available on the Wetherspoon app and website).
