More than 80 real ales will be available at a popular city pub's 15th annual beer festival, which runs until Sunday, May 30.

The festival at the Whalebone pub in Magdalen Road, close to the city centre, started yesterday and landlord Steve Fiske said he was hoping this would be the best yet.

'We have definitely started with some fantastic weather for drinking,' he said, 'which we have not always had in the past.

'We will have about 80 real ales to choose from, which is one of the most we have ever had. The ales come from Norfolk and across the country.'
