Real ale fans are raising their glasses this weekend to a mouth-watering combination of classic steam trains, music and fine beer.

The Beer & Music Festival at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway got underway on Thursday, got into full swing yesterday and will continue until tomorrow.

Real-ale enthusiasts are able to listen to live bands as they sink their drinks at the popular annual event.

Activities are centred on the railway's Oxenhope Exhibition shed, although a real ale bar is also available on most trains.

The festival was continuing in the Shed today from 11am to 11pm, and tomorrow from 11am to 5.30pm, with jazz, blues and rock ‘n’ roll music, including Dr Busker And The Dorset Rats this evening.

Keighley station was also offering a real-ale bar on the platform and live bands today in a marquee, including Eddie Earthquake And The Tremors.

A railway spokesman said: "Not only will great beers, ciders and wine be served but a great weekend of steam action will also be served up with 34092 ‘Wells, 5820 ‘Big Jim’ and WD 90733 all in action."
