A Newport pub is amongst 10 in Wales running a free pint competition during Cheltenham Festival.

The Maindee Hotel will join the festivities during the racing festival from Tuesday, March 11 to Friday, March 14.

The competition will require customers to buy a drink before each race.

Customers who do so, will pull a number out of a hat. If the number matches the winning horse number in the race, the customer will receive a free pint.

The initiative is being organised by Proper Pubs, Admiral Taverns' award-winning community wet-led division.

The other nine participating pubs in Wales are Bush Inn in Aberdare, Aberystwyth's Vale of Rheidol, Bala's Goat Hotel. Mold's Griffin Inn and Y Pentan, Rhyl's Six Bells, St Georges Hotel in Swansea, and Wrexham's Cross Foxes Inn and Long Pull.

Cheltenham Festival is one of the most popular horse racing events in the UK and is considered a premier event alongside the likes of Royal Ascot and Aintree.

Cheltenham Gold Cup will take place during the festival on Friday, March 14.
