Organisers have confirmed that ticket prices will remain in line with last year's event.

Ilkley Beer Festival will return to the King's Hall and Winter Garden in February 2027, with tickets going on sale next month.

The popular event, organised by Ilkley Round Table and supported by Womble Bond Dickinson, will take place on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th February.

Early bird tickets will be available for £20 when sales open on Sunday 1st November, with prices set to increase in the new year.

The festival will feature a wide selection of beers alongside gin, prosecco and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as live entertainment and food.

There will be three sessions across the weekend, including Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening.

Organisers have confirmed that ticket prices will remain in line with last year's event.

The festival also raises money for local charities and community organisations, with the 2026 event generating £55,554.45 for good causes.

Sam Pearson, Beer Festival Lead at Ilkley Round Table, said:

“We’re delighted to be bringing Ilkley Beer Festival back for another year.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring people together, enjoy some great drinks and raise money for causes that make a real difference in our community.

“Last year’s fundraising total was phenomenal, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came along, volunteered or supported the event.

“We’ve kept ticket prices in line with last year, and with early bird tickets available for just £20, there’s no better time to get your tickets booked.

“Whether you’re a real ale enthusiast, prefer a gin or prosecco, or are looking for non-alcoholic options, there’s something for everyone.

“We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to King’s Hall in February.”

The annual festival brings together local breweries, businesses and volunteers, with proceeds helping support community projects across the Ilkley area.

Tickets go on sale on Sunday 1st November at ilkleybeerfestival.org.uk.
