The Harrogate beer festival that attempts to break down barriers between women and beer is back next month.
The beer and arts festival called WOTFEST SIX, organised by Women on Tap CIC, will return to Harrogate between May 4 and 8 and offer a place for women interested in beer or those wanting to learn more to come together and try it out.
The festival works with bars, breweries and industry experts to provide a space for thought-provoking communications and for women to explore more beers.
Festival highlights include an evening of conversation with women in beer from Track Brewing Co and Brew York and Mindful Drinking workshops hosted by Club Soda which aim to emphasise positive drinking habits over abstinence.
There will also be quizzes, treasure hunts and other events held at some of Harrogate’s best known bars including Major Tom’s Social, The Disappearing Chin, The Harrogate Tap and Rooster’s Taproom.

As in previous years, a special festival beer has been brewed at Brew York. The pineapple sour will be available at venues throughout the festival.
Women on Tap founder, Rachel Auty said:
“It feels good to properly root the festival back in Harrogate where it all began while also retaining an element of online events and activity.
“We are a tiny team with an enormous goal and thanks to the incredible support we get from the UK wide beer industry, our network across Harrogate and Knaresborough, and our local friends who never fail to cheer us on from the sidelines, we continue to stride out every year – passionate, determined, and smiling!”
Women on Tap CIC was formed in 2017 in Harrogate to help influence and shape a beer industry where women have equal opportunities, feel welcome, and are safe.
