Tonight and tomorrow night (Friday 27 Feb and Saturday 28 Feb).

Astley and Tyldesley Cricket Club beer festival.

Supporting these events is supporting your local community. All the money stays local and all the good that it does stays local.

Get down there for a couple of scoops and feel good while you're doing it.

It’s finally here - the biggest, best and baddest beer festival in the World! Day 1 opens today from 3pm until 11pm.

Can’t wait to see you all over the weekend for a great time!
