Haworth Beer Festival 2026 | 17–19 April | Yorkshire Ales & Live Music

About the Festival

We're back — bigger than ever

From upbeat DJ sets and acoustic afternoons to full-band energy and soulful Sunday vibes, Haworth Beer Festival has something for everyone. We've been doing this since 2012, and this year might just be the best one yet.

The Old School Rooms — where Charlotte Brontë once taught, right in the middle of the village — have had a full roof renovation and are looking better than ever inside and out. The perfect setting for a proper Yorkshire weekend.

Haworth is one of those places that stays with you. Cobbled streets, moorland right on the doorstep, brilliant pubs. If you're making a full trip of it, Haworth village is packed with places to stay and things to do while you're in the area.

Tickets go quickly every year — don't leave it and regret it. Grab yours early and lock in your spot at the biggest event in Haworth's calendar.

Good to Know

A few questions answered

Can we bring dogs and children?

Dogs and children are welcome during the Saturday afternoon session only (12pm–5pm, 18th April). They're not permitted at the Friday night, Saturday night, or Sunday sessions.

Is it just beer, or are there other drinks?

Definitely not just beer. There's a dedicated bar with lager, ciders, gins, rums and fine wines. We also have a good range of gluten-free and vegan beers on draft, plus alcohol-free options in bottles and cans. Something for everyone.

How do beer tokens work?

All bars are cashless, so you'll need to pick up beer tokens from the front desk on your way in. Each token is £2.25 and a full card comes to £18. There's a minimum card spend of £5 due to processing charges.

What does my ticket actually get me?

Entry to the festival plus entertainment for your chosen session. Tickets are priced to cover the real costs of running the event — staffing, insurance, equipment, entertainment, venue hire, security and glassware. You can't get a packet of fags for a tenner these days, so it's pretty good value all things considered.

Where exactly is the festival?

We're at the Old School Rooms in Haworth, West Yorkshire — a historic venue right in the heart of the village. Find the Old School Rooms on Google Maps.
