Beer enthusiasts are in for a treat as Bowness Bay Brewing's annual September Beer Festival prepares to return.

The event at the Lake District brewery in Bowness-on-Windermere marks its third year with a bigger and more vibrant set-up.

Over the three-day extravaganza, from September 13 to 15, visitors can relish in more than 30 special guest brews and ciders from more than 15 'exceptional' guest breweries.

Bowness Bay Brewing will have four bars to cater to the large crowd, including one in the brewery.

However, the festival is not exclusive to beer lovers.

With a packed schedule of live music featuring talent from the area like Jefferson Moore, Sophie Dalrymple, and Ged Hagan, the festival is packed with entertainment for everyone.
