The Friends of Cheltenham Samaritans bring you the Cheltenham Winter Craft Beer Festival.

Set in the stunningly restored St Philip and St James Church in Leckhampton, this event will probably sell out, so don't miss out.

There are two sessions:

• Friday 17th February: 4.30pm - 10pm (last orders at 9.30pm)
• Saturday 18th February: 1pm - 6.30pm (last orders at 6pm)

Each session will be limited to 225 people and at each session there will be at least 10 keg beers available, including key kegs, covering a whole range of different styles suitable for the winter season.

There will also be a small range of ciders, wine and soft drinks, but please note there will be no spirits. It is planned that the beer list for the two sessions will be different.

A small range of cold food will also be served but no food is allowed to be brought in from outside to be consumed on the premises.

Tickets are £8 and include a branded festival ½ pint glass and beer list. A limited range of early bird tickets are available at just £6.00.

'Weekender' tickets are also available - when you book either Friday or Saturday sessions, you will be given the option of adding the other session for just £4.00 (this option is only available at the time of booking). All prices are also subject to Eventbrite booking fees.

All monies raised from this festival go to support the running of Cheltenham Samaritans.

Over 18s only, proof of age may be required on entry. No dogs (apart from assistance dogs) and no children please.

The Friends previously held 15 summer beer festivals which were held at the Old Pats ground in Charlton Kings. This will be their third one at St Phillips & St James Church (Pip and Jim's).

The Friends have been running for over 40 years, raising funds for the Cheltenham branch of the Samaritans who are a self-funded branch.
