A REVIVED beer festival could go with a bang over the weekend following a successful return to the regional real ale calendar last year.
New licensee Sean Quilty oversaw the relaunch of the Woodman Beer Festival, at the pub of the same name, in Gilesgate, Durham, last summer, but hopes it proves bigger and better in the second year back since its resurrection.
It will feature a bigger range of beer and cider sourced from local brewers as well as some from further afield, but, after the popular addition of a small barbecue last year, there will be a bigger emphasis on food in the shape of sausages, supplied by a local, independent butcher, hence the new title, the Woodman Beer and Banger Festival.
There will also be evening entertainment.
The festival runs from noon on Friday until 11pm on Monday.
