LONG queues were snaking down the street on the final day of a popular beer and cider festival.

Thousands of people have been making their way to Pitchcroft in Worcester for the Worcester Beer, Cider and Perry Festival over the past three days.

The popular festival has been serving a selection of beer, cider, perry and prosecco which had been sourced around Worcestershire. 

Offering 150 casks providing 60 different real ales, 80 ciders and perries, and fruit and grape wine for festival-goers to get their hands on. 

On the final day of the event the windy weather with the occasional threat of rain did not put people off. 

Although the event had a slow start, punters soon started queuing down the street by noon.
