Harrogate's annual beer festival returns to the Harrogate International Centre in 2008. Dr Thirsty are playing on Saturday 1st March and White Van Man on Friday 29th February. Advance tickets can be bought from the Conference Centre and will be available on the door. Both the Friday and Saturday nights in 2007 were a sellout with over 1,000 people coming through the doors so please come early.
All proceeds of the Beer Festival are given directly to local chairities. We rely on the generosity of local businesses to sponsor barrels of beer in return for free entrance and publicity both on this web site and at the International Centre.
Our headline sponsor is Sky Bet. Corporate sponsors are Tenon (formally Jackson Joliffe Cork) and Price Waterhouse Coopers.
Beers are being sourced by Daleside Brewery and the Blacksheep Brewery is providing a second bar, technical help as well as some beer!
