A BEER and music festival is set to strike a chord with rail visitors.

The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is hosting the annual extravaganza, from next Thursday (October 17) until Sunday, October 20.

And organisers are anticipating "a classic".

At Oxenhope nearly 100 cask ales, a cider bar, wines, gins and no or low-alcohol products will be on offer, together with a programme of live music featuring 30 bands and solo artists covering a range of genres.

Ingrow Yard will be home to five breweries.

And trains in operation along the five-mile line will include the The Flying Landlord and Ossett Brewery Express.

Access to the festival on the Saturday will be restricted to people who have pre-booked tickets.

And some entry restrictions will apply at Ingrow Yard.

Nicola Karpuz, for the festival, says: "This event becomes more popular each year, which is why we’ve had to introduce booking-only arrangements for Saturday and the entrance tickets to Ingrow Yard. Visitors should check out ticketing and availability.

"There’s going to be plenty to drink, eat and listen to, so we expect it to be another classic year for this amazing event."
