A PICTURESQUE pub in a Cheshire village will be holding its beer and cider festival next month.
The event at The Swan at Marbury will include more local ales than ever and an extra day to celebrate.
The award-winning pub in Marbury has announced that its popular Beer and Cider Festival will be making a return following the success of last year’s event, and will be taking place from Thursday, September 4 to Sunday September 7, 2025.
Festival opening times are from 5pm until late on Thursday, from 12pm until late on Friday and Saturday and from 12pm until late afternoon on Sunday.
The event is just £3 to attend, for which guests also get their very own Swan at Marbury branded pint glass they can take away as a keepsake.
This year, the festival will feature more than 20 carefully selected quality real ales, sourced both locally and from across the UK.
There will also be a range of craft ciders to try, offering a wide range of flavours for all tastes.
Some of the beers and breweries that will feature include Hopback, Summer Lightning, Merlin’s Mythic IPA, gluten free Party Wave from Howling Hops, Thornbridge’s Jaipur and many more.
To accompany the drinks, festivalgoers can enjoy freshly prepared food from The Swan’s talented chefs, all cooked on the outdoor BBQ.
