“We can’t wait to get back in the Marine Hall to set up the bar and start pulling pints - or perhaps that should be halves, given our commitment to responsible enjoyment!

“It’s hard work, but we wouldn’t miss it for the world. We will have around 100 real ales over the three days.

“As one would expect, there will be all styles of beer - bitters, IPAs, stouts, porters, golden ales and lagers will be on offer, demonstrating the depth and variety of flavour offered by real ale.”

New breweries will get to display their wares alongside the regular favourites.

Fylde coast breweries will also be well represented as well as world beers and a selection of fruit beers.

The festival will also include the gin and prosecco bar, which has proved popular in recent years, for those who fancy a break from ale.
