Over the last three years, The Court have organised the summer Beer, Cider and Music Festival and are using this experience to put on the new event.

Alan Lettis, from the Court Leet, said: “ We are honoured to stage a Winter Beer Festival for the Lord Leycester Hospital in February. The Master, Heidi Meyer, was one of our many volunteers who helped at the Summer Beer Festival and enjoyed it so much, she asked if we could stage one at the hospital.

“As this is the most iconic building in Warwick we are looking forward to the event as the atmosphere will be tremendous mixing beer and cider with so much history dating back hundreds of years.”

The festival will be held on Friday February 16 from 4pm to 10pm and Saturday February 17 from noon to 10pm in the Great Hall and Courtyard of The Lord Leycester Hospital.
