Marketing manager Jen Swindells said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.
“It will allow us, over a 12-day period, to showcase a selection of superb value-for-money beers, including those from brewers as far afield as Canada and New Zealand, as well as those closer to home.
“This festival features five female international brewers, with many of the beers having been brewed, or the brewing assisted, by female brewers.
“The event will also give customers the opportunity to enjoy beers which have not previously been available in the pubs, as well as those brewed especially for the festival.”
