Otley Beer Festival — 25th anniversary, 20 & 21 November at Otley Common

The Otley Beer Festival celebrates its 25th anniversary with a move to a new home: this year’s festival takes place at Otley Common (the former Methodist Church) on Friday 20 and Saturday 21 November 2026, open noon to 11pm both days, after being held at Otley Rugby Club since 2010.

Expect a wide range of cask ales from Yorkshire breweries, craft keg beers, real ciders and perry, plus local gin, spiced rum and prosecco — and non-alcoholic options too. Food comes from the Common’s kitchen, with live music in the evening sessions. The charity festival has raised over £100,000 for good causes since 2002; this year’s chosen charity is Otley Museum.
