Cllr Geoff Settle, who is lives locally and is Cinnamon Brow’s parish councillor congratulated the club on putting on a great event.
He said: “I have seen a number of new features taking place at the club during the last 12 months, for example the construction of new brick beer patio at the front of the club and the new Sunday jamming sessions in the non-members bar.
“You do not need to be a member nor do you have to join in and sing along – you can simply listen and tap your feet.”
The festival features 17 real ales and two ciders from around the country.
There were food stalls, a barbeque, live music, karaoke, comedy sow and traditional pub games.
