New Harrogate Beer Week raises glass to local pubs and breweries
Local pubs and breweries will be the focus of the first ever Harrogate Beer Week, which starts next month.
The beer week will run from September 20 to 26. During the week there will be a programme of special events across different venues in Harrogate.
There will also be an indie beer trail, live local music and a home brewing competition on the the cards. It will all culminate with a big beer weekend in the town centre.
If successful, the organiser hopes that she will be able to bring it back on an annual basis.
