A three-day beer festival is returning to Penwortham for the Bank Holiday Weekend.

Pints will be raised at Penwortham Cricket Club in Greenbank Road, off Leyland Road, from Friday afternoon onwards.

This year’s festival includes a guest appearance from former Miss England Elizabeth Grant who is from Preston.

The beauty queen will be compering a charity auction during the Saturday evening in aid of Derian House.

Doors open on Friday 25 August from 4.30pm and there’s 20-20 cricket to enjoy. Food on offer includes a BBQ and freshly made pizza.
