Henshaws Beer Festival back this weekend after two year break
Henshaws Beer Festival is back this weekend after a two year absence.
The event, on Saturday and Sunday, is a vital fundraiser for the Arts and Crafts Centre in Knaresborough which works with disabled adults from across the district.
In June 2020 Henshaws announced the centre would be closed for the "foreseeable future" . Almost a year later the charity received a grant from Arts Council England from the government’s £1.57 billion Culture Recovery Fund, which allowed the centre to reopen. Henshaws said it needs to raise £200,000 of non-statutory income a year to keep the centre running.
Henshaws said the beer festival will be bigger and better than ever. Five local breweries have joined forces to present the best of beer, including a specially brewed Henshaws Ale. Wines, gins, cider and low-alcohol beer will also be on offer.
The weekend will also feature sets from a range of local performers and a DJ . There will be a special acoustic stage on the Sunday.
There will be five different types of food and a range of family activities. Daytime family-friendly sessions take place on both days and there is an adults-only evening on the Saturday.
