Quality not quantity a Victory for club
The popular event takes place at their Victory Park Social Club on the weekend of May 22-24.
And this year, the emphasis will be on quality rather than quantity – with less beer on offer, but still some wonderful choices to be had.

The festival is sponsored by The Spinners at Cowling, run by Chorley FC director Glenn Hutchinson and his fiance Emma.
Glenn said: “What we’re going to do this year is have a bit less beer, but we’re going to use more breweries. We’re aiming to give people a wider choice.”
You will discover beers from popular brewers such as Bank Top, Moorhouses, Burscough, Prospect, Lytham, Reedley Hallows and Elland, for example. Ciders and wines are also available.

“The festival has been getting bigger and better every year.
“We had a good turn out last year and are aiming to sell out of beer this year.
“We have a lot of repeat sponsors and are getting more help from people wanting to get involved. The amount of support increases every year which shows how popular it is.
“Every penny after outlay and costs goes to Chorley FC.”
