GALLERY: Coningsby & Tattershall Lions roar with success of beer festival
Held over Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, the beer festival saw more than 400 people flock to Tattershall village hall to sample the many craft beers from across the county and country that were on offer.
There was also a barbecue, which offered loaded nachos which went down very well, as well as cider, wine and plenty of soft drinks, with singer/songwriter Nicky Haxby providing musical entertainment.

"Everyone had a great time and we had lots of people thanking us for keeping our prices low,” she said.
The lions also presented 10 sleeping bags to East Coast Homeless Outreach (ECHO) to help rough sleepers in the area.
Overall, more than £3,000 was raised by the Lions, which will go back into community projects in the Coningsby and Tattershall and surrounding areas.
