“We have secured an amazing line-up for our first beer festival,” said Frank Whiteley, Chew’s Yard’s Operations Manager.
“We celebrate individuality and collaboration at Chew’s Yard, the venue is home to five independent food vendors and drinks traders and features multiple bars operated by Thornbridge and Escapade.
“The people of Preston have responded really positively to what we are offering and we, together with Thornbridge and Escapade wanted to whet their appetite further with the introduction of the beer festival. This inaugural, and hopefully yearly, beer festival will showcase the best breweries that the North West has to offer.”
Each day features two sessions running from 12pm to 4pm and 5pm to 9pm.
As well as beer, there will be free entertainment throughout the weekend with a number of acoustic acts playing in the venue’s food and drink hall.
