Hull’s leading beer festival has attracted a record attendance to Hull’s historic Holy Trinity Church.
And the success of the Hull Real Ale and Cider Festival has given a further boost to plans to transform England’s largest parish church.
More than 4,000 people enjoyed the festival – up by 1,000 on last year – with drinkers queuing to enter the church throughout the three-day event. The festival raised £5,000 to be split between church funds and the £4.5m regeneration project.
Holy Trinity Pioneer Minister the Reverend Matt Woodcock said there was a wonderful atmosphere throughout the event, with real ale fans enjoying a sociable drink within magnificent surroundings.
