The ‘Glastonbury’ of beer festivals in Preston is returning.

Two beer halls housing more than 200 cask ales, ciders and perries will be put back up at a city pub this summer.

A 19th beer festival takes place at The Continental after a break of nearly two years.

Meat and Drink Company say this year’s festival will have an extended keg beer bar and an increased gin bar.

Food sees BBQ options as well as an extensive veggie menu.

And a huge marquee is back hosting live music and DJs.
