Back for its triumphant fourth year and at a brand new venue! THE BEER FESTIVAL LIKE NO OTHER returns for 2026! Amazing beer, food and live music are all on offer at this unique celebration of the history of brewing, all taking place at the historic Tetley Brewery.

Expect to be transported back in time and taste beers that are decades or even hundreds of years old, brewed especially for the event and served by the brewers themselves. Prize Medals will be awarded to beers judged by a specially-selected panel.
