Beer and pre-schools don't usually mix -- but they will make a potent brew at Wallingford.

The annual Blues and Beer festival based on the Regal Centre will raise money for the Rainbow Pre-school at Wallingford and for Crowmarsh Pre-school.

Children from both schools have been doing paintings and their efforts will be on the walls at the Regal Centre on June 10-11, during the festival, which aims to bring top blues bands into the town as well as giving talented local youngsters a stage.

There is a family session on Saturday afternoon, from noon to 7pm. Information can be found at www.bluesandbeer.org.uk
