Beer Festivals
Keighley and Craven CAMRA organise 2 beer festivals in the Branch area:
Keighley Beer Festival
Planning for the 2010 Keighley Beer Festival has started and dates have been agreed. The festival will again take place at Keighley's Victoria Hall from Thursday 23rd September to Saturday 25th. Provisional opening times are Thursday 3-11; Friday and Saturday 11-11 with admission remaining at last year's price of £2 for all sessions. (CAMRA members free admission at all times.)

The previous Keighley Beer Festival (our 21st) was held from Thursday September 24th to Saturday September 26th 2009 at Victoria Hall, Keighley. It was again a resounding success despite the credit crunch. The cider sold out and all but a couple of crates of foreign beer went too. At the end of the festival, there were still (very small amounts of) about 20 cask beers available, and many favourable comments were passed on to our door staff when the punters were leaving. Thanks to all who came and made it such an enjoyable event!

Skipton Beer Festival
Skipton Beer Festival 2010 was another successful event. Held, as usual, at the Town Hall, High Street, Skipton between Thursday 22nd April to Saturday 24th April 2010, the event attracted nearly 2000 customers and all but sold out. Provisional dates for 2011 are Thursday 19th May to Saturday 21st May.
