The newly appointed Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Neale Murphy, who is also Lord of Warwick Court Leet paid a visit to the Beer and cider tastings stall on Sunday. He helped serve samples of beer and ciders to prospective customers.
At the event there will be around 45 beers, 15 ciders, a prosecco bar and live music.
John Atkinson, Bailiff of Warwick Court Leet, said: “Our festival has a twofold purpose to provide an enjoyable community event for people in the town and to use the money to give grants to local charities and good causes.

“Arrangements are in place to close Castle Street alongside Pageant Gardens so that the area can be used for a food stall provided by Warwick’s very own Chip Shed who will be serving hot food to compliment the beers and ciders.”
Tickets cost £5 per person and include a commemorative glass.
Tickets are available from the visitor centre in the Court House, the Old Post Office pub, the Old Four Penny Shop Pub, Torry’s Hardware and online. To buy tickets online click here
