A HAMPSHIRE pub is holding a beer festival.

The Cleveland Bay, in Valley Park, Chandler's Ford is hosting the three day event from tomorrow which will have a selection of real ales and traditional ciders on offer from when the pub opens at 11.30am throughout the day on the first two days and midday on Sunday.

Residents can try a range of different ales and ciders from local producers and those from across the country.

The pub, in Pilgrims Close, has been running the event for around five years and now holds it twice a year.

On the first evening there will be live music from 8.30pm from JaxStax, a seven piece soul funk band who play classic and present-day soul funk music hits based in Southampton.

The Saturday evening will see live music from 8.30pm with band Sharp Exit, a covers band that has performed all around Hampshire.

Sunday will see a fun during the day with a bouncy castle, face painting and lucky dip for cancer research.
