A popular beer festival is set to return to Addingham this year.

The 13th Addingham Beer Festival will take place at the Addingham Memorial Hall on October 4 and 5 with over 35 beers on offer.

Most beers are sourced from local breweries including Saltaire, Ilkley, Craven and Kirkstall, and some are from further afield.

In addition, there will bars dedicated to cider, gin, wine and Prosecco. Food is also available throughout the festival.

They will be live music from local artists (Geoff Preston, Abandon, Lost Embers) on Friday night and an in-house band, The Beer Fest Boys, will perform for the last time on Saturday night.

The Addingham Quiz of the year will be held during the Saturday afternoon session with a top prize of £100.

Sessions include:

  • The Friday afternoon sponsor session will run 4pm to 6pm where sponsors can take advantage of complimentary drinks for their guests.
  • The Friday evening session runs from 6pm until late where the focus is on the ales, ciders, gin, wine and Prosecco.
  • The Saturday afternoon session starts from 1pm and the grand finale begins on Saturday evening at 7pm again until late.

Since 2011, Addingham Beer Festival has raised over £80,000 for local causes.

Tickets can be purchased online at Addinghambeerfest.co.uk or at The Swan and The Fleece pubs as well as The Addingham Co-op.

Tickets are priced at £12.50 per session which includes a festival glass and a complimentary drink.

The festival uses a token facility priced at £2 each which equates to a half of ale.
