Beer festival raises £4k

The Wanstead Beer Festival in October raised £4,000 for good causes. The money is being split between local charities Chaos, Reach Out, Christchurch and the Wanstead Fringe.

The event attracted record numbers of over 730 attending the one day event.

“It was a great day, with Wanstead once again showing how much it loves its beer. Thanks to everyone who helped make the day happen and everyone who came along,” Paul Donovan, one of the festival organisers said.

“Now it is onto the next one. The bar is rising all the time but everyone involved is determined to deliver an event better event next year.”
