CONNOISSEURS of real ale and lovers of ciders enjoyed old and new delights at the beer festival at the East Anglian Railway Museum.

The popular festival is marking its 29th event at the Chappel and Wakes Colne station.

The five-day festival, which runs until tomorrow has 450 beers and 100 ciders on offer.

Organiser Brendan Fothcott said: “It is going really well.

“I reckon visitor numbers are up by about 10 per cent compared to last year and that had a good turn out as well.

“It is good fun and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

“It is especially busy in the evenings.”

Money raised at the festival will go back into the railway, which is a registered charity.

The railway holds a number of events throughout the year.
