A Knaresborough beer festival will return to the town this summer to raise money for charity.
The Henshaws Beer Fest, at the Henshaws Arts and Crafts Centre, will offer food, drink and live music on May 3 and 4.
The festival will sell beers, ciders, wines and gins by local breweries as well as street food.
There will be two family-friendly daytime sessions and an adult-only Saturday evening party.
The festival is held annually in aid of Henshaws, a charity that supports people with sight loss and disabilities in the north of England.
Flora Simpson, fundraising development manager at Henshaws, said:
This is our fifth year running the event and each year seems to get better and better. That’s all thanks to the amazing community who help to make the event so special.
We love being in Knaresborough and everyone is so friendly and wanting to get involved and support local charities. It’s always such a great buzz at the festival, with everyone just there to have a good time.
Heather Pearman, one of the volunteers that makes the event happen, said:
It was my first time volunteering at Henshaws Beer Fest in 2023, and I can’t wait to do it again. The team is amazing and so welcoming, like one big family. If you’re thinking about volunteering, do it. I felt such a sense of pride being part of something so special.
Every adult ticket comes with a limited-edition souvenir pint glass and two drink tokens.
