This year's 32nd Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival will run from Wednesday to Saturday - the same time as the huge Shrewsbury Pride Festival is expected to bring thousands of people on to the streets.

This year's event is supporting Shrewsbury Pride, as are many pubs and breweries. One, event sponsor Salopian, based near the county town has brewed an ale called Rainbow Dream which will be available at the beer festival.

"There are only eight casks in the whole world, including at the festival, so don't miss out," said a Campaign for Real Ale spokesperson.

Preparations are underway for the beer festival at Church of St Mary the Virgin, Shrewsbury..
