The 26th Keswick Beer Festival is held on Friday and Saturday of this week on the rugby pitch, which is just 2 minutes walk from the bus terminus next to Booths supermarket.

It is held in big marquee tents, with real ales being dispensed straight from the barrel by volunteer staff.

This not-for-profit annual event raises a huge amount of funds for local charities and good causes and is run by Keswick Rugby Club along with the Keswick branch of The Lions.

A few tickets are still available online on the festival website and there is still the opportunity to sponsor a barrel for £125

There is plenty of live entertainment plus food.

A free programme can be downloaded from the website and more information about the beer festival can be found on Facebook.
