Patricia Hillas will pour the first pint at the event
The Bishop of Sodor and Man will perform the official opening ceremony at this year’s Isle of Man Beer and Cider Festival.
Patricia Hillas will pour the first pint of specially brewed festival ale from Okell’s brewery.
She is the first female bishop in the Island’s history.
The 12th annual festival will take place from 10-12 April in the Villa Marina’s Royal Hall.
Earlier this month, Craig’s Heartstrong Foundation was named as the charity which will benefit from donations at this year's event.
