Independent family-run brewer Elgoods is hosting its popular beer festival along with a chance to appear in a promotional video.

A film crew will be on hand at the event which takes place at the Wisbech-based brewery from Thursday 25 to Saturday 27.

The festival coincides with the nationwide Cask Ale Week celebrations where breweries are opening their doors to the public.

Local beers, food, music and a chance to be filmed in conjunction with the Society of Independent Brewers film crew are among the atttractions on offer.

Around 150 beers from local East Anglian brewers will be available to sample including Elgood’s new fruit and Lambic-style ales.

There will be barbecue food and live bands each evening.

The event is housed within the beautiful four acre gardens of Elgoods which incorporates specimen trees, herbaceous borders, a lake, rockery, water features, herb gardens and a maze.

A film crew will be attending the event to capture a new type of reusable glass, the material of which has been developed by a cousin of the Elgood family. Footage from the beer festival will be used in a promotional video about the new glass that will be shown worldwide.

Tickets cost £3 to pre-book or £4 on the day.
