He said: “We had around 30,000 people attend last year’s festival.

“We have more than 450 beers available from across the country - and more from overseas as well, and for the first time we have a gin bar being set up, with more than 50 gins available.”

Mike said the festival organisers were still looking for volunteers to help over the five days of the festival.
