COLCHESTER is to host the Cricket, Beer and Cider Festival this month.
The festival, takes place from Wednesday July 24 to Sunday July 28, at Colchester Cricket Club.
Opening at 11am until late everyday, the festival will have 25 beers and ciders for those attending to enjoy.
It will also see a cricket match taking place each day, with a kwik cricket tournament kicking it all off on the first day.
Tickets are priced at £3, and that admission also gets you a glass and a programme.
The cricket matches will consist of three Colchester and East Essex County Cricket games and on the last day there will be an Essex Women’s Premier League match.
A spokesman said: “This year’s event is bigger and better with the assistance of Two Brews and Crouch Vale Brewery.
“We are very grateful to Colchester Council that permit us to host this important fundraising event and to the many beers, craft ale and cider sponsors, and thank our volunteers that will make your stay with us an enjoyable experience.”
