Drinkers get ready to raise your glasses and celebrate all things beer at this year’s Crystal Palace beer festival.

Tickets are selling fast for the event which will be opened by actor and Eagles fan Neil Morrisey and goalkeeper Julian Speroni.

First-team coach Keith Millen and club legends Jim Cannon and Dave Madden will be among the guests.

It starts at noon on Saturday and runs until 7pm in the Holmesdale Road stand at Selhurst Park.

The FA Cup final will be shown on the big screen and on televisions around the concourse and there will be bands and pub grub, making it the ultimate end-of-season party.

Crystal Palace FC co-owner Stephen Browett said: “It’s a great day out, with top-quality beer, live music, a great atmosphere and it’s in a football stadium with the cup fnal on the screens.”

Everyone who attends will receive a CPFC beer festival commemorative glass.
