WITHAM beer festival proved a huge success as it returned for its sixth year.

The festival was held in Maldon Road Park, on Maldon Road, Witham- it ran from Thursday to Saturday. 

Crowds were entertained with cricket games and live music throughout the afternoon and evening, while a collection of locally sources beers, ciders, wines and ales were on offer.

The event ran from midday until 8pm and proved to be a big hit with those in attendance who enjoyed the entertainment, drink and food on offer.

Witham MP Priti Patel was invited but sadly could not attend, although she was very supportive.
