One of Harrogate's best-known charity events is set to return in 2026 - and early bird tickets are now available.
The Harrogate Charity Beer Festival, organised by Harrogate and District Round Table, is set to return to The Crown Hotel on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 March 2026.
The annual event brings together local businesses, sponsors and the wider community for a weekend of beer, entertainment and fundraising.
Since launching in 1990, the festival has raised more than £500,000 for local causes.
The 2026 event will continue that legacy by supporting a number of charities across the Harrogate District, including The Samaritans, Harrogate & District Community Action (HADCA), Time Together, and Disability Action Yorkshire.
Across the two-day event, attendees will be able to choose from more than 40 local cask ales, alongside keg beers, cider, wine, gin, and non-alcoholic options.
Six Nations rugby screenings, live music, and DJ sets will run throughout the weekend.


The festival opens on Friday afternoon with the popular “Business Beers” session from 13:30 to 18:00, welcoming more than 100 local businesses for informal networking, before opening to the public from 18:00 to 23:00.
The event continues on Saturday 7th March from 13:30 to 23:00, with sponsors and the public coming together for a full day and evening of entertainment.
Early bird public tickets are now available with a 10% discount using the code EARLYBIRD10. Early booking is encouraged, as demand for the festival continues to grow year on year.
