Are you ready for fun? How the afterparty went at the GBPA

The Great British Pub Awards inevitably has winners and losers but the afterparty has winners only.

Once the winners were announced at an amazing ceremony hosted by The Morning Advertiser editor Ed Bedington and comedienne Suzi Ruffell, the Rick Parfitt Jnr Band too to the stage and got everyone up and dancing as they played classic after classic.

Here are a few of the pictures from the dancefloor at the event that took place on Wednesday 23 September at the First Direct Bank Arena in Leeds – and we’ve got more pics lined up for next week too.

Also, don’t miss the Sunday Session this weekend where we’ll have the winners pictures and a video with some of those victorious pubs too - and maybe a little more of the party action too...
