A Lichfield pub has raised more than £850 for a local arts charity.

The Bowling Green played host to its second Cask Aid festival over the Easter weekend.

The event saw musicians including Emma Jonson and the Retro Evolution play in aid of Lichfield Arts.

A new drink – Ember Inns Pale Ale – was also launched as part of the event.

Mo Zaami, general manager at The Bowling Green, said: “We were thrilled to celebrate with the festival to raise money for such a good cause.

“We were honoured to have Brian Pretty, President of Lichfield Arts, pull our first pint of Ember Inns Pale Ale to officially launch the event.

“I want to thank all our customers for supporting us.”
