Entry is free and there will be a large selection of beers, ciders, lagers, wine, soft drinks and food available.
On Saturday, the festival runs from 12pm until 11pm and will coincide with FEVA's Picnic in the Park, which is also being held at Knaresborough House.
On Sunday, the festival starts from 12pm until the beer runs out.
Harrogate Beer Week
Harrogate is gearing up for the return of its beer week following its debut event in 2021.
Running from September 19-25, Harrogate Beer Week will celebrate the town's craft beer scene, brewing heritage and beer in the community.
There will be events hosted at bars, brewery taps, and other venues across Harrogate such as beer and food pairings, blind beer tasting quizzes, bottle shares, home brew competitions, talks and brewery tours exploring the making of beer.
Other features on the programme will include an ‘Indie Beer Trail’ and live local music and a special local beer has been brewed for the occasion. The programme will be announced on August 24.
The event is being sponsored by Harrogate Business Improvement District, Cold Bath Brewing Co, Daleside Brewery, Harrogate Brewing Co, Roosters Brewing Co, and Turning Point brew Co and Black Sheep Brewery.
