Wakefield Beer Festival coming to Wakefield Exchange bringing over 100 beers, ciders and craft drinks
WX will be hosting the Wakefield Beer Festival later this year that will see more than 100 ales, ciders and craft drinks.
The festival, from October 23 to 25, will bring together Wakefield Round Table, Jolly Boys Brewery, HB Clark and Wakefield Exchange to celebrate independent brewing, local food, live entertainment and community spirit.
With more than 100 beers, ciders and craft drinks on offer, visitors can enjoy a weekend of great food, live entertainment and some of the best brews the region has to offer.
The festival also aims to support and showcase the local brewing community.
Coun Lukas Borcz, Wakefield Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Sport, said: “This will be a fabulous celebration of real ale, craft beer, and good old-fashioned merriment.
“Wakefield has a growing reputation for real ale, and the night-time and leisure economy is a jewel in Wakefield’s crown.
“This event will not only be a fun way to showcase the craft and the community behind the brew, with music and events. It is also supporting local businesses by bringing more people into our city centre.”
Tickets start from £12 and are now on sale.

• Friday, October 23 - 6pm to 10pm • Saturday, October 24 – 12pm to 5pm • Saturday, October 24 - 6pm to 10pm • Sunday, October 25 – 12pm to 5pm
