YOUR money or your beer.

The cast of Dick Turpin, a production by York-based Riding Lights Theatre Company, turned out to raise a glass of specially-created Last Drop Bitter at the recently-opened Last Drop Inn.

The legendary highwayman and horse thief was said to frequent the ale houses in and around the city, and York Brewery has produced a batch of Last Drop Bitter exclusively for the run of the show at the Friargate Theatre in York.

The performance is running until the end of June. Contact the box office on 0845 9613000 for further details.
