Bishop Auckland Town Hall is hosting the 2003 Wear Valley CAMRA Beer Festival for the fifth year, from Wednesday to Saturday, February 12 to 15.

It promises to tantalise the tastebuds with 24 cask conditioned beers from small independent breweries across the UK along with fine examples of cider and perry.

Each night of the festival will see musical entertainment and refreshments from the Laurel Caf.
