A BEER festival is being held at two pubs in Worcester and Evesham this week.

The Postal Order, in Foregate Street, and The Old Swann Inn, in High Street, Evesham, will be hosting the event from Wednesday, October 31, to Sunday, November 4.

All beers, which will include Oakhill Black Magic Stout, Tomintoul Nessies Monster Mash, Burton Bridge Stairway to Heaven and Exmoor Beast, will be priced at £1.29 a pint during the festival.

"I have sourced the beers from a wide range of brewers across Britain," said Andrew Phelps, manager at The Old Swanne Inn.

"The festival will give people the opportunity to enjoy an excellent selection of real ales which are not normally available in the area.

"It promises to be a lot of fun."
