AN ale festival has helped raise a huge £6,500 for four good causes.
Edgworth Real Ale Festival thanked volunteers, sponsors and visitors for a successful 2017.
Monies will be donated to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), North West Air Ambulance and Yorkshire Air Ambulance, the organisation's chosen charities for 2017.
Other beneficiaries include Friends of Martin Hibbert, a group launched to provide long-term financial support for Martin and his family, after he was paralysed in the Manchester terror attack.
Donations will also be made to the Blackburn with Darwen Brass Band and The Barlow, in Edgworth.
Since the first Festival in 2006, the small village festival - with around 60 real ales and ciders - has given more than £75,000 to various charities, both in in the nearby area and nationally.
