A Norfolk beer festival is relocating to a larger venue to meet demand - after they had to turn punters away last year. 

The Acle Winter Beer Festival returns for its fourth edition from February 23 to 25 2024, with its new home at Acle Academy.

The event, previously at the church hall, is organised by friends Jeff Fisher, Paul Lambert, Simon Clover, Dale Harrison, Steve Aldridge, Adam Fisher and Kristian Sayer.

There will be free entry, with drink tokens available to buy on the day by cash or card.

There will also be 10 ciders, an artisan spirits bar, hot and cold food options and live music.

On Friday, a free return vintage bus trip is available on the newly-restored Eastern Counties VR190, departing Castle Meadow in Norwich at 12noon and returning around 3.30pm.

Jeff Fisher said: "It is a great community event, with beers from all over Norfolk and Suffolk, and our profits go towards local good causes."
