Real ale fans soaked up the sun and sampled a variety of top tipples at Eastleigh's second beer festival of its kind 20 years ago.

The Concorde Club and Hotel in Eastleigh hosted the event which attracted hundreds of people and featured 12 different beers.

Visitors did put their glasses down from time to time to dance the afternoon away to the sounds of popular jazz band, “The New Stompers”, and to take part in a spot of rubber duck racing.

The festival, first held in 2003, was the brainchild of father and son management team, Cole and Jamie Mathieson.
