Staff at Upton's White Lion are going to have their work cut out over the bank holiday weekend as they serve up 25 different beers and ciders.

The High Street hotel is hosting the inaugural Lion and Pepperpot Beer Festival from 7pm tonight (Friday) until Monday.

Musicians from Upton Folk Club will provide the entertainment at the former 16th Century coaching inn, while drinkers sample beer from breweries including Wye Valley and Hobsons.

There will also be a chance to buy specially produced festival glasses and T-shirts.

The hotel's owner, Jon Lear, said: "It should be a good event.

"If it's well supported we'll probably do it again. We might even do a small one for the Upton Water Festival at the end of August."
