One of the country's most picturesque beer festivals is back.

Wincle Beer Festival returns this summer, offering stunning views and the chance to try more than 40 beers and ciders.

It's not all about the booze either, with live music, food, guided walks, face painting and camping making it an occasion for the whole family to enjoy.

Giles Meadows, owner of Wincle Beer, said: "We are hugely excited to host the festival again this summer.

"It is a big undertaking for us but always well worth the effort.

"It is a great event and one that improves every year.

"It's just an incredible way to spend a summer weekend."

Taking place on July 4 and 5, this year will be the 11th edition of Wincle Beer Festival.

Alongside the beers, guests will be able to enjoy live music spanning a wide range of genres.

Eight bands are already signed up to perform, including Bollington Brass Band.

The festival, which is run by volunteers, will also feature a number of pop-up eateries who have all been carefully selected.

Furthermore, for 2025 Giles and the team will be expanding their glamping offering following last year's successful trial run.

However, since tickets went on sale on Saturday, February 8, spaces have been booking up quickly and Giles expects all of the camping options to sell out fast.

Tickets can be purchased online at https://buytickets.at/winclebeercompany/1547601.

An adult admission with a glass and 15 drinks tokens (equivalent to five pints of beer) costs £42.50, with under 18s going free.

If you can't wait until July then never fear as Wincle Beer host a free-to-attend open tap night on the first Friday of every month, starting in April.

There will also be a special event in March to mark the relaunch of Rambler, an amber ale.
