BEARD fans and moustache lovers alike will gather in Oxford this afternoon for the furry finale of a now annual tradition.

The fifth Oxford Beard Festival kicks off at the Tap Social from 12pm and the facial-haired fiesta plans to go on until late.

While 70s pornstar is not a look that is particularly in fashion these days, competitors will fashion their face fuzz to resemble Ron Jeremy in an attempt to win this category.

Other themes include sport star 'taches, psychedelic shaped afros and hippy beards.

The event is open to all.
