REAL ALE and real fun proved a recipe for success at Eaton’s music and beer festival.
The event attracted 500 people to the Eight Bells pub and organisers hope to raise £2,000 for Helen and Douglas House Hospice in Oxford.
Twenty real ales were on offer, including many from local breweries, and 10 bands provided the music at Saturday’s event.
Organiser Paul Lyon, joint owner of the Eight Bells, said: “The sun came out just as we started so we were very lucky.
“We had about 500 people, great atmosphere, and great bands. There was the odd shower as well, but we had marquees so we stayed dry.”
Mr Lyon said the annual village beer festival chose Helen and Douglas House as this year’s charity because they wanted to support a local cause.
