IT was a perfect day for Haworth’s beer festival which was held at the Old School Room, in Church Street, yesterday.

Festivities included music, a vintage cocktail bar where experts shook and stirred a variety of concoctions and ‘Branwell’s Gin Shack’.

A new brew being pulled was Goose Eye Brewery’s Branwell Bronte beer.

And at East Riddlesden Hall, near Keighley, the annual tradition of wassailing apple trees, singing songs to prompt a good apple harvest and hanging good luck messages on the branches took place.
