BEER and cider enthusiasts will be able to enjoy up to 30 real ales and five ciders during a 12-day festival at two pubs.

The Brun Lea in Manchester Road and The Boot Inn in St. James’ Street, Burnley, have each sourced beers from brewers in Greece, Italy, Australia, Canada, USA and Republic of Ireland, with one of the ciders from Northern Ireland.

The festival will run from Wednesday, March 14 until Sunday, March 25.

It will feature a selection of beers brewed exclusively for the festival.

All beers and ciders will be priced at £2.05 a pint.

The Brun Lea manager, Victoria Barnes-Chum, said: "The festival promises to be great fun and I am certain that customers will enjoy themselves."
