Sam Pearson, beer festival lead at Ilkley Round Table, said: "We’re delighted to be bringing Ilkley Beer Festival back for another year.

"It’s a fantastic opportunity to bring people together, enjoy some great drinks and raise money for causes that make a real difference in our community.

"Last year’s fundraising total was phenomenal, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who came along, volunteered or supported the event.

"We’ve kept ticket prices in line with last year, and with early bird tickets available for just £20, there’s no better time to get your tickets booked.

"Whether you’re a real ale enthusiast, prefer a gin or prosecco, or are looking for non-alcoholic options, there’s something for everyone.

"We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to King’s Hall in February."
