The newly-reopened Bridge Hotel in Kendal is holding a cider festival to promote West Country ciders.

The popular pub suffered heavy damage when Storm Desmond battered the town on December 5, and landlady Jacqueline Hadley was only able to reopen the refurbished premises earlier this month.

And now she is keen to get customers back through the doors while reintroducing cider to the town.

A number of popular West Country ciders are on offer during the festival, including Cornish Rattler, Celtic Thundering Molly, Hogan's Hazy Daisy, orchard pig's navel gazer, and Weston's Wyldwood and Family Reserve.

The festival started earlier this week, and runs until June 5.

As well as the reintroduction of cider, The Bridge Hotel also has a new menu of handmade food on offer as well as its usual range of beers and cask ales.
