The third real ale festival organised by Darlington Rugby Club was opened on Friday night by Northern Echo journalist and former Northern League chairman Mike Amos.

There will be over 60 different ales from many different breweries to sample over the weekend. The club is open tomorrow from midday with the Six Nations Rugby on the big screen, and again on Sunday with football on the big screen.

Parking and admission are free.
