The long-running event attracts hundreds of ale lovers and the warm weather ensured a bumper crowd for Saturday’s celebrations for the beer cart procession, in which barrels of the good stuff are drawn through the streets as people line the route from Ossett War Memorial Community Centre. Morris dancers then staged performances around the sun-soaked town centre. The drinking begins on Friday at Ossett Town Hall and continues on the Saturday until the last drops have been supped.
