The ales are in place and the musicians are ready for Bradford CAMRA Beer Festival 2013, which starts tonight.

Victoria Hall in Saltaire will host the three-day event which runs until Saturday.

Volunteers spent yesterday setting-up, with organiser Tony Constable making the final checks to some of the 100-plus real ales, ciders, fruit wines and foreign beers on offer.

This evening and tomorrow afternoon the Cinema Organ Society will be playing the hall’s famous mighty Wurlitzer Organ and tomorrow Last Orders, a local covers band, will be playing a variety of favourites.

On Saturday afternoon The Hall Royd Brass Band plays and on Saturday evening the Phoenix Ceilidh Band performs.

The festival opens at 6pm tonight.
