Ilkley Beer Festival returns on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th February, bringing together outstanding live entertainment, a vibrant festival atmosphere and a strong commitment to giving back to the community.
While the festival at the King’s Hall and Winter Garden is well known for its wide selection of beers, it also boasts a carefully curated entertainment programme designed to keep visitors entertained throughout the weekend.
The festival opens on Friday evening with an energising performance from 404 Club, a Motown-inspired band renowned for filling dancefloors with timeless soul classics and irresistible grooves. Their upbeat set promises the perfect start to the weekend, setting a lively tone as festival-goers settle in with friends, music and a pint.
On Saturday afternoon, the spotlight turns to Middle Management, whose relaxed yet engaging sound provides the ideal daytime soundtrack. Their performance offers a chance to enjoy the festival at a gentler pace, making it the perfect accompaniment to afternoon sampling and socialising.
The weekend culminates in style on Saturday evening with Northern Epidemic [pictured above], a legendary duo celebrated for their powerful live shows and loyal following. With a reputation built on high-energy performances and crowd connection, Northern Epidemic are set to deliver a memorable finale to the festival.
Beyond the music and beer, Ilkley Beer Festival is proudly entirely volunteer-organised, with a dedicated team of local volunteers from Ilkley & District Round Table working behind the scenes to deliver a high-quality event. Importantly, all profits from the festival go directly to charity, supporting a range of good causes and ensuring every ticket sold helps make a positive difference.
By combining quality entertainment, community involvement and charitable fundraising, Ilkley Beer Festival continues to stand out as an event with purpose at its heart - proving that great music, great beer and doing good can go hand in hand.
Tickets are on sale now and expected to sell out. Festival-goers are encouraged to book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment by visiting https://ilkleybeerfestival.org.uk/.
