Over 50 real ales from across the British Isles are lined up for Keighley's 14th beer festival.

Unusual bottled beers from overseas, together with traditional cider and perry, will also be on offer at the September 26-28 event.

The festival, at Victoria Hall, is being organised by the local branch of the Campaign for Real Ale.

It will be open from 5-11pm on the Thursday, noon-11pm on the Friday, and 11am-4pm and 5.30-11pm on the Saturday.

Anyone planning to attend on the Friday evening is advised to buy a ticket in advance.

Tickets are also available in advance for the Thursday and Saturday sessions, and can be obtained from the Cricketers and Boltmakers Arms in Keighley, the Narrowboat at Skipton, Fanny's Ale House in Saltaire, the Grove at Leeds and the Corn Dolly, Bradford.

Admission to the Friday afternoon session is free, with tickets available at the door only.

There will be live music, a tombola and pub games on the Friday and Saturday evenings, and a prize on the Saturday night for the best hat.
