LOCALS are being encouraged to volunteer for the next Mapplewell Beer Festival.

The event will take place on the weekend of November 22 to November 24.

Anyone who would be available to help is being asked to attend a meeting at Staincross Club on Tuesday at 7.30pm.

A spokesperson for the event said: “If you think you could pour some beer or other beverages – no experience necessary – we’d like to invite you to a volunteers introduction meeting.

“If you can’t make the meeting but would still like to volunteer, please complete the form on our website mapplewellbeerfestival.com/volunteer.”
