ORGANISERS of the city's summer beer festival say the event has been a big success after more than 10,000 people attended.

The five-day Derby City Charter Summer Beer Festival ended yesterday.

It was held in the Market Place after the fire at the Assembly Rooms.

It had more than 200 draught ales from brewers across Derbyshire and the UK on offer.

Russ Gilbert, chairman of the event, said: "We have had a great atmosphere throughout the five days and people seemed to have really enjoyed it.

"Beer is huge here in Derby so I'm thrilled people are giving good feedback to us for what we have done.

"It's not been easy at all. After the fire it has taken a lot of work but it has been worth it."

Russ said the reorganisation had been tough, especially to make sure the ales would be kept at the right temperature because the festival was being staged outdoors.

Evening entertainment also featured along with hot and cold food.

Derby Brewing Company celebrated its tenth anniversary this year and had a number of beers available at the festival.
