FANS of real ale and cider are in for a treat at the Anderton Boat Lift’s annual Beer and Cider Festival, being held from Friday, May 26 to Sunday, May 28.
The festival is in its fifth year, and will feature 12 of the country’s traditional top ales and ciders, with visitors also being treated to live acts each evening.
The festival will run from 6.30pm to 11.30pm each night, and freshly-sourced food will be available from the Lift View each evening.
Tickets can be pre-ordered for £5 by calling 01606 786 777 (£7.50 on the night) and beer tokens are £2 each or 10 for £15.
Graham Wood, events manager at Anderton Boat Lift, said: “This is one of the friendliest beer and cider festivals in the region, offering some of the best ales and ciders in the country.
“Now in its fifth year, people coming to the festival always comment on the relaxed ambience of the site and its magnificent terraced site overlooking the huge Lift and the River Weaver. This year’s festival is going to be our best yet.”
The Anderton Boat Lift is the world’s first successful boat lift. It was built in 1875 and is still operating today.
