Next weekend, the annual Stockport Beer and Cider Festival will return to the town centre with a huge selection of drinks on offer.

Taking place from June 19-21 at the refurbished Masonic Hall on Wellington Road, it will feature more than 250 beers, ciders and perries. There will be food, entertainment, and stalls for posters, jewellery, and beer-related items.

The Stockport Beer and Cider Festival is organised by volunteers from CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, which promotes pubs, pints and people.

It is co-ordinated by the Stockport and South Manchester CAMRA Branch, with volunteers coming from branches across the region to assist.

Festival organiser Jim Flynn said: “The volunteer team have been working hard to organise a festival which has lots of different activities to enjoy. We hope you will come along and join us in our celebration of Midsummer Madness.”
