Organised by a group of local businesses and beer-loving residents, from Monday, September 18, Harrogate Beer Week will see pubs, bars, breweries, artists, musicians, cafés and restaurants across the town will come together in an inclusive way to shine a spotlight on Harrogate’s prodigious craft beer and brewing heritage.

With special events planned at taprooms, bars and eateries across Harrogate, the week is set to be a fantastic celebration of all things beer in the local community.
The culmination of the week will be Septemberfest – a family-friendly mini-festival of food, drink and live music on the front lawns of the Cedar Court Hotel on Saturday, September 23 and Sunday, September 24.
Think German food and barbeques, oompah bands and DJ sets, kids’ entertainment, wines and spirits, of course, beer.
