TICKETS have gone on sale for the 17th Ilkley Beer Festival which returns in 2025 on Friday and Saturday, February 7 and 8.
The 2025 festival will offer over 20,000 pints of cask ale, craft beers, lagers, ciders, wine, Prosecco, and a popular gin bar.
The event is organised by Ilkley & District Round Table, and last year’s event raised over £50,000, all of which was used to support local charities and good causes.
In addition to the excellent selection of drinks, food will once again be provided by Lishman’s of Ilkley, with their famous pork pies, sausage rolls and pasties available throughout the weekend.
Live music will be provided by The Leathernecks (Friday evening), TDK (Saturday afternoon) and Northern Epidemic (Saturday Evening).
Nick Marsden, chairman of the Ilkley Beer Festival, said: “We’re very excited about the 17th anniversary of the Ilkley Beer Festival. This event has grown to become a cornerstone of the Ilkley social calendar. We’re also continuing to focus on making the festival more sustainable, so tickets will once again be online only, as will our festival programme and beer guides.
"Finally, following overwhelming demand, we are excited to launch our online merchandise store featuring exclusive collaborations with local Yorkshire businesses. These products will only be available via pre-order from our website. We only have limited stock available, and pre-orders will end early in January to deliver in time for the festival weekend.”
Tickets are now on sale for Friday evening (5.30pm-11pm), Saturday afternoon (11am-4pm) and Saturday evening (5.30pm-11pm).
If anyone feels that they, or an organisation they know of in the local area, could benefit from funding from Ilkley & District Round Table, please email communityservice@ilkleyroundtable.org.uk.
