The Driftwood Spars in St Agnes is gearing up to host its annual autumn beer and music festival this month.

The event, a much-anticipated tradition, marks the start of the cosy season at the historic brewpub.

Visitors can look forward to seasonal brews, hearty food, lively music, and the warm atmosphere of a community pub.

This year's mini-festival, dubbed Lou-Lapalooza in honour of landlady Louise Treseder, will take place from October 25 to 27.

The event is free, allowing attendees to come and go as they please.

They are described as "an unstoppable mix of high-energy, home-brewed folk-punk, and Celtic tunes that will have you dancing all night long."

On October 26, the Aggie Boys Choir will perform traditional Cornish sea songs and shanties at 5pm.

The same day will also see The Mighty Howlers take the stage with their unique sound, influenced by Rockabilly, Classic Rock, and Rock Blues.

It will conclude on October 27 with a soulful Sunday Lunch session featuring Jenna Witts, who will perform her blend of folk and country music.

Head brewer Tim Lawrence said: "We’ll have a cask of Polberro, our green hopped beer made with local wild hops, as well as a fresh batch of Irish Stout which has been going down extremely well.

"Also, Lou and I got together and brewed a 9 per cent Belgian Triple specially for the occasion, which all festivalgoers should definitely try."

Chef Tom Bennetts and his team will provide nourishment with seasonal specials made from local produce, alongside traditional pub favourites.

The Crib Shack, a converted shipping container, will also be open (weather dependent), serving a range of drinks, including luxury hot chocolates.

This year's festival is set to be Ms Treseder's last at the pub, which is currently seeking a new owner.

It's a perfect opportunity to raise a glass in her honour as her departure will be a significant loss to the community.
