Kirkburton Beer Festival 2026 including Saturday village fayre

About the event

On Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd May 2026 we will be holding our annual beer festival and summer fayre, raising money for Kirkburton Scouts and Guides, and our chosen charity of the year.

 We intend to follow the same format as in previous years, that is…

Friday – Mainly centred on the scout hut (and marquee) as the “pub night” with some catering, music and a new look pub quiz.

Saturday – a village fayre, with catering and entertainment alongside the beer festival.

(We hope to have 18 pumps and over 30 real ales plus cider, wine and prosecco on both days)

In order to bring the community together we are asking if individuals or local groups would like to join with us in making the event even better for the village.

Local groups/charities might wish to run a stall or activity at the village fayre, to fundraise or publicise their activities - please email KUGVillageFayre@gmail.com for further information

We would also welcome additional volunteers to join the small team of organisers, especially to help run aspects of the event in the setting up and breaking down of the event as well as during the event itself. (no previous experience needed)

In either case, groups or individuals who would like more information or who would like to get involved can contact us at the links below.

Email us at kirkburtonfest@gmail.com or call on 01484 810232, leave a message and we’ll get back to you
