Funds raised will go towards cancer research
Charity fundraisers plan to roll beer barrels through the quiet town of Bradford On Avon on Saturday.

The Great Bradford Barrel Roll was the idea of town councillor and deputy mayor Pete Leach. Councillor Leach's wife lost her best friend to cancer.

The rollers will be stopping at each of the Wiltshire town's 19 pubs.

Money from beer sales, estimated at £1,000 a barrel, will go towards breast cancer research and Surrey's Royal Marsden Hospital.
