There will be a raffle on both evenings and a charity auction on the Saturday, all the proceeds of which will go to St Michael’s Hospice.

Bilton Beer Festival tickets cost £10.00 each which includes a souvenir glass and 3 pints of beer. Tickets can be purchased online via the Bilton Beer Festival website or directly from Bilton Working Men’s Club, Skipton Road, Harrogate. Additional pints will cost £2.75 each.

Organiser, Chris Herbert said:

The Bilton Beer Festival should be a really enjoyable occasion with a great selection of beers to enjoy. We’ve thought for a while that Bilton Working Men’s Club would make a great venue for a beer festival and we hope that it will raise a significant amount of money for St. Michael’s Hospice which does amazing work. We’d like to particularly thank our supporters and sponsors for their help in making this happen.
