Ilkley Beer Festival 2026 - A Community Celebration in the Heart of Town

At Silverspring Sales & Lettings, we’re proud to be part of a thriving town that blends

tradition, culture, and community spirit. One of the best examples of this is the Ilkley

Beer Festival, returning on Friday 13th and Saturday 14th February 2026 at the

King’s Hall and Winter Garden.

What is the Ilkley Beer Festival?

The Ilkley Beer Festival is one of the most popular annual events in Ilkley, drawing

thousands of visitors from across Yorkshire and beyond. Organised by Ilkley &

District Round Table, the festival features:

 More than 100 craft beers, ciders, and gins

 Live music from local performers

 Food from ‘Britain’s Best Butchers Shop’

 A buzzing atmosphere that showcases the very best of life in Ilkley

Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast, a gin lover, or simply looking for a lively night

out, this festival offers something for everyone.

Supporting the Ilkley Community

What makes the Ilkley Beer Festival truly special is its purpose. Every ticket sold and

every drink poured raises money for local good causes. Since its launch in 2008, the

festival has raised hundreds of thousands for charities, schools, sports clubs, and

community projects across Wharfedale.

As a local business rooted in Ilkley, we love seeing how this event brings people

together. It’s not only a highlight of the social calendar but also a reminder of why

Ilkley is such a wonderful place to live. Events like this show the strength of our

community - neighbours meeting, friends gathering, and visitors discovering the

unique character of our town.

For anyone considering moving to Ilkley, the Beer Festival is a perfect example of
