The first glimpse of Harrogate Beer Festival’s plans for 2026
The first glimpse of Harrogate Charity Beer Festival’s plans for 2026 has been revealed with ticket offers part of the mix.
One of Harrogate’s best-known and most-loved charity events, the festival is set to return to the Crown Hotel in March, with early bird tickets now available.
Taking place on Friday, March 6 and March 7, the event organised by Harrogate and District Round Table is renowned for bringing together local businesses, sponsors, and the wider community for a weekend of beer, entertainment and, importantly, charity fundraising.
Since launching in 1990, Harrogate Charity Beer 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.
During 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.
Live Six Nations rugby screenings, live music, and DJ sets will run throughout the weekend.
Harrogate Charity Beer Festival will opens on Friday afternoon with the popular Business Beers session from 1.30pm to 6pm, welcoming more than 100 local businesses for informal networking, before opening to the public from 6pm to 11pm.
The event will continue on Saturday, March 7 from 1.30pm to 11pm, with sponsors and the public coming together for a full day and evening of entertainment.
Launched in 1990 by Harrogate Round Table, the annual Harrogate Charity Beer Festival has become a staple community event in the town.
As always, ticket holders can expect a friendly atmosphere and, occasional, party vibes.
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.
The public are also being reminded that the ultimate in value for money and the easiest way to enjoy the beer festival is to purchase a wrist band in advance.
