DENBY Dale Lions club is brewing up support for its latest beer festival.

The local charity fundraising group will host the event at the beautiful medieval St John the Baptist Church, Market Place, in Penistone, on Friday and Saturday, January 25 and 26.

Last year’s Lions beer festival at Ossett Town Hall attracted 700 people over the weekend and organisers are hoping the Penistone Beer Festival 2013 will be as popular.

A festival was also held at Denby Dale Pie Hall in March last year.

The Penistone Church festival will feature specialist beers in unique surroundings and the Friday night will see drinkers entertained by a beer and hymns themed evening from 7pm.

On the Saturday, guests will be able to enjoy the beer accompanied by live music and pie and peas.

Denby Dale Lions run a wide variety of fundraising and social events throughout the year.

Last year they donated more than £13,000 to local and international projects.
