Wetherby Grange Park has confirmed the Wetherby Beer Festival will return over the May Bank Holiday.
Cheers! Wetherby Beer Festival set to return for second year Wetherby Beer Festival is set to return for a second year in May. The first ever event was held last year and raised £35,000 to update the sports facilities at Wetherby Grange Park and support local charities. And organisers have confirmed it will return over the May Bank Holiday - Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th May. Again the festival will feature more award-winning beers, live bands and family entertainment. Adam Hastie, Partner at Schofield Sweeney, said:
“We’re delighted to be sponsoring the business networking event again at the Wetherby Beer Festival. “After the success of last year’s event it was an easy decision to come on board this year for a festival that promises to be even bigger and better.”2024 will see more than 50 artisan, local and regional beers, ciders and stouts on offer as well as the ever-popular gin bar, cocktail bar and a champagne lounge for those who want to try something different. Larger marquees have been booked and, to reduce wait times, six new bars will be introduced including a dedicated Lager & Cider Bar, four extra Cask Bars to sit alongside the traditional Long Bar and an Express Can & Bottle Bar. Deborah Kelly, Chair of Wetherby Beer Festival, said:
“Last year’s event surpassed everyone’s expectations in terms of how the local community embraced the Festival and helped smash our fundraising target. “The money raised has made a huge difference and has already been invested in numerous developments including solar panels to help reduce Grange Park’s energy costs so that sports subs remain affordable for all. “For 2024, we also pledge to support other local community projects and Martin House Children’s Hospice with 10% of profits being donated to these good causes. “We hope to welcome even more guests through the doors this year for another amazing community event.”The Festival opens on the Friday with the business networking event, sponsored by solicitors Schofield Sweeney. The Friday sessions are for over 18s only, with Saturday’s ticketed event open to all ages, with two children going free with every paying adult. Doors open 5.30-11pm on the Friday and 12noon until 11pm on the Saturday.
