An annual beer festival in support of St Robert's Church in Pannal will return for a 14th year next weekend.
The festival will run on Friday 19th September (5pm–11pm) and on Saturday 20th September (2pm–9pm).
Saturday’s programme will coincide with the church’s Family Fun Day between 2pm and 5pm, which includes stalls, ice cream and the popular Teddy Zipwire attraction.
Food options will be available throughout the weekend, including pulled pork sandwiches and crisps, alongside a Prosecco bar, wine, cider and soft drinks for those who prefer alternatives to beer.

A pub quiz is scheduled for Saturday evening (7.30pm–9pm), while raffles will take place on both Friday and Saturday nights.
The weekend will conclude on Sunday 21st September, with Hymns with Beer, a service combining worship and music held from 4pm to 6pm.
Tickets and entry
Entry to the Fun Day is free of charge. Beer Festival tickets cost £15, covering admission, a commemorative half-pint glass, four tokens for beer or prosecco, and a programme with tasting notes.
