BEER drinkers can enjoy pints from just £2.15 at Wetherspoons pubs, but they’ll have to be quick as there’s just one day left.
More than 800 Wetherspoon pubs across the country are taking part in a spring real-ale festival.

Punters will be able to grab a £2.15 pint from a selection of 30 ales.
But the 12-day festival comes to an end tomorrow (Sunday, April 2).
The event is part of the chain’s Real Ale festival, and the choice includes a variety of seasonal and speciality brews.
There are also vegan and gluten free beers up for grabs.
Wetherspoon operations director, Martin Geoghegan said: “The festival is a great celebration of real ale.
“It will also give our customers the opportunity to enjoy a number of beers which have not previously been served in the pub, including those from overseas.”
But do note prices may differ depending on where in the UK you live – the average pint across all pubs is expected to be less than £3.
It’s best to check your local menu before setting off.

From the range on offer right now, you can get a pint of Greene King Abbot Ale for £2.68 in comparison, but this could be pricier if you live in a city centre, for instance.
We also spotted pints of Sharp’s Doom Bar and Kirkstall Three Swords for £2.46 each, but again prices will differ per location.
All the ales are available to order at the bar, or via the Wetherspoons app.
But prices have gone up by 16p since the festival in October last year, when the cheapest pint cost £1.99.
More recently, Spoons offered English breakfast meals from just £2 in a Top Plates, Low Rates promotion.
Fans could bag a small English breakfast for just £1.99, and a traditional breakfast for £2.99.
Usually these are £3.29 and £3.59 respectively. But this deal is only available in 112 out of 844 pubs, so you’ll need to check your local branch online first.
The news comes after a recent 7.5% price hike throughout the pub chain – adding up to 29p for a pint and 75p on food.
Among the price differences were favourite tipples up by 7%, with a pint of Carlsberg up from £2.39 to £2.57, Stella from £3.35 to £3.60 and Leffe from £3.85 to £4.14.
Also, 11 of its sites that Wetherspoons had marked for closure are currently under offer.
This means that a buyer has presented an offer that is being considered by the seller.
It doesn’t mean that the sale is guaranteed, and it could still remain open if it doesn’t complete.
This is because its sales are still lagging behind pre-pandemic levels, the pub confirmed.
