Knaresborough Lions' Charity Beer Festival is back this year after a year away with members eager to raise as much as they can for charity.
Coronavirus cancelled the 2020 festival but this year the Lions are back with their charity beer festival next weekend, Friday August 20 to August 22.
In previous years the festival has raised up to £4,000, with 80% of the funds staying locally. The Lions distribute the funds to numerous community and charity causes as well as to individuals and families identified by social services as in need of extra support.
The pandemic meant a number of the group's usual events, including the Bed Race and Christmas Market, couldn't go ahead so they're hoping to make up for it this year.
The beer festival will be held in the assembly rooms inside Knaresborough House. Numbers will be regulated indoors so there is no overcrowding.
