AN award-winning inn hopes its first beer and music festival will become an annual event.
The popular Twice Brewed Inn will hold its first Beer and Music Fest from June 28 to June 30.
The business, near Hadrian's Wall, supplies pubs and retailers all over the North East and beyond, with its award-winning range of cask, bottled and canned beers and ales including brews such as Ale Caesar, Sycamore Gap, Steel Rigg and Vindolanda IPA.
The event, which organisers hope will become an annual attraction, promises great beer, good food and live entertainment.

The Beer and Music Fest will be held in the grounds of The Twice Brewed Inn and special event marquees.
Twelve Twice Brewed beers and 10 exciting guest beers will be available, together with a gin and spirit bar featuring products including the famous Sycamore Gap gin. Visitors can enjoy street food at the event or the great food at The Twice Brewed Inn.
Hugely popular local bands including Hip Hip Hooray, Jason Arnup and Guilty Pleasure are just three of the acts that will be performing.
The Beer and Music Fest will start at 5pm on Friday night and finish with Groove Train on Sunday night. Sunday will be a family-fun day with live music, face painting and children's entertainment.
This will include bouncy castles, games, face painting, Temon Farm ice cream and homemade cakes.
Planetarium shows will be available throughout the day at The Twice Brewed Planetarium located on-site.

"It’s a first for Twice Brewed and we are confident this will become a regular feature of the calendar. We will be raising money for local charities, and we will be releasing more details about this later."
