A MIXTURE of festive cheer and festive beer will be staged at a York pub later this month.

Live music from an array of performers will form part of a pre-Christmas celebration at the Waggon And Horses in Lawrence Street, on Friday, December 17, and Saturday, December 18, organised in collaboration with Fillmore Music.

The acts will be on stage between 7pm and midnight on the Friday and from 4pm until midnight the following day, with performances from Edwina Hayes, Ryan Spendlove, Fox North Coalition and many others.

Entry is free and hot food and guest ales, as well as mulled wine and snacks, will be available, while the artists will also be putting on jamming sessions.
