MAGNIFICENT moustaches, great goatees and super sideburns will go on show today at the fourth annual Oxford Beard Festival.
Facial fuzz fanatic Sue Higgins and her team are holding this year's festival at a new location – the Tap Social Movement brewery on Curtis Industrial Estate off Botley Road.
The event will run from midday to 5pm and this year's competitions will include 'big and bushy beard', 'straightest and curliest moustache', 'fact or fiction characters' and the 'less mess eating contest'.
The organisers will be collecting funds for Oxford Food Bank which is next door.
