BURY'S Beer Festival which ends on Saturday night, is the toast of the town.

And the event at The Met in Market Street, organised by the Rochdale, Oldham and Bury branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), promises to be bigger and better than ever.

More than 50 beers will be on offer.

The Festival, which returns to the town after a year's absence, will be held from 12 noon to 3pm and from 5pm to 11pm today, and from noon to 4pm and from 6pm to 11pm tomorrow.
