Hitchin Rugby Club will be hosting the town’s beer festival for the first time, with the event kicking off this evening.
The annual feature, which is organised by North Herts CAMRA and Hitchin Round Table and backed by the Comet, will be held at the club’s Old Hale Way premises across the outdoor area, clubhouse and a marquee.
Over the past week, organisers have been busy setting up the site and have also been handing out beer mats at Hitchin Railway Station to commuters, to promote the event.
The festival will be held today from 5pm and tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday from midday. It finishes at 11pm on all three days.

As well as more than 70 beers, perry and cider available, there will also be wine, spirits and soft drinks.
Food will also be served.
