One of England\u2019s largest beer festivals is about to open its doors after months of \u201chard work\u201d from organisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rotherham Real Ale and Music Festival<\/a> will start this Thursday at the Magna centre, with 8,000 people expected to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew Ridsdale, part of the event\u2019s media team, said: \u201cWe\u2019re hoping that it will be a memorable three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of time, love and effort goes into organising a festival of this type. It\u2019s the culmination of six months of hard work by the festival\u2019s organising committee, who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s always a great feeling when the doors of the festival open and the first guests walk through the door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, which began in 1992, has become a staple of the Yorkshire brewing scene, and helped to launch ale brands such as Black Sheep.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activities at the festival include Championship Beers of Yorkshire, a taste-testing competition with winners in different categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the breweries looking for success is Abbeydale. Laura Rangeley, a spokeswoman for the brewer, said: \u201cThe festival not only allows us to showcase a wide range of our beers to attendees but also engage with and support the wonderful beer community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will also feature live music, with the ukulele band the Everley Pregnant Brothers<\/a> headlining this Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Mr Ridsdale, the wide range of activities is key to the event’s success. He said: “From 18 years old to 80 there really is something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival will run from 23 to 25 February, with proceeds going to Rotherham Cancer Care Centre. More details can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
