A Bicester brewery is closing its doors after six years due to cost increases and "significant disruption over the past few years".

The Wriggly Monkey Brewery announced its closure this week and urged people to support independent businesses.

In a statement, the business said: "It is with immense sadness that we must call time on The Wriggly Monkey Brewery".

The brewing industry and the wider hospitality sector has faced unprecedented cost increases and significant disruption over the last few years that have challenged the brewery’s viability going forwards.
