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.
Tickets and further information are available at www.harrogatebeerfestival.co.uk. For sponsorship enquiries, please contact harrogatebeerfestival@gmail.com
