A mid Suffolk pub is preparing to host its first beer and music festival this summer. 

Sips & Sounds Beer and Music Festival is coming to The Swan in Needham Market from Thursday, August 8 to Monday, August 12. 

Matt Coleman and Ysobel Hellon-Warwick reopened the pub in April last year after the previous owners decided to leave the business. Pub owners Matt Coleman and Ysobel Hellon-WarwickPub owners Matt Coleman and Ysobel Hellon-Warwick (Image: Charlotte Bond) The five-day beer festival will have a selection of ales and ciders and a full line-up of musical talent for visitors to enjoy.
