MORE than 500 people enjoyed Denbigh's 18th Beer Festival.

The festival, held on Saturday, September 16, was arranged by volunteers from Denbigh and District Round Table. Money was raised for 'local charities and good causes'. Accounts are still being settle but it is hoped about £8,000 has been raised.

Richard Wells, beer festival organiser for Denbigh and District Round Table said "We had another successful beer festival on Saturday and it was great to see so many people having fun whilst raising money for charity. It is a lot of work to organise and run the festival, but it is all worth it when you see the enjoyment it brings.
