The date for this year’s Twyford Beer Festival has been set.
The fundraising event takes place in Stanlake Meadow over three days, and sees a mixture of food, drink, music and fun.
Family friendly, it is run by volunteers who are raising money for Orchid, the men’s cancer charity.
Previous years have raised more than £10,000 for its work and organisers hope that this year’s event will be just as spectacular – not least as it is its 15th year.
The festival focuses on beers, real ales, ciders and perries with other options including spirits and soft drinks.
Where possible, the beers come from locally sources such as Double Barrelled, Elusive, Mysterious Brewing, Rebellion, Stardust and Tutts Clump.
Food options include Twyford-based businesses Rural Pie Co and Indian restaurant Haweli. A barbecue featuring sausages and burgers will be provided by A Star Catering.
Vegetarian options will be available.

On Thursday, June 5, the first act starts at 7pm and will be Drum Club.
