The Harrogate Beer Festival is organised by the Harrogate Round Table and runs over three nights – Thursday 28th February, Friday 1st March and Saturday 2nd March at the Crown Hotel in Harrogate.
The organisers recommend buying tickets online, as once the venue reaches capacity on each night, further tickets will not be available on the door – only pre-purchased ticket entry.
This year features an even more extensive selection of beers.
Over 4,000 visitors are expected to attend the event, which is supporting Macmillan Cancer Support, Open Country, Henshaws Society for Blind People and Asthma Relief
Opening times vary each day:
- Thursday 6.30pm to 11.30pm
- Friday 6.30pm to 11.30pm

There are two music stages from 8pm.
