Northallerton Craft Beer Festival 2026
Bayonet Brewing Presents - Northallerton Craft Beer Festival 2026!
Brought to you in partnership with our friends at Scanman UK, North Riding Financial Services, The Keg Warehouse and Walker Foster Solicitors Northallerton Craft Beer Festival is back for two sessions - Friday 7 Aug 1800-2300 and Saturday 8 Aug 1200-1700. After a successful first year we're hugely excited to bring some of the best Independent breweries to Northallerton to join us for the next edition! As the only brewery in Northallerton we've championed modern and independent beer from the start with an aim to turn the town into a craft beer destination for all, this is the next step in that plan! We had a fantastic time in 2025 and cant wait to welcome you back for what is going to be an even bigger and better event and this year we're hugely excited to be moving the festival to The Forum - it's going to be epic!
Fancy the ultimate weekend kickoff and post-work celebration where you get first access to the first pours with one hell of a party atmosphere? We’ve got you covered with the Friday Night Party. It's built for dancing and for an incredible price, our all in ticket is a no-brainer! The day sesh more your thing? Then join us for Saturday Smash where we’ll hit the afternoon hard before sending you into town for the official after party! Thinking about the return home? Then don't worry! There are late trains heading to both Newcastle and York/Leeds following our Friday night session!
Hosted once again by our pal Kam AKA @Beerguideworldwide, you can expect great beer, amazing people and fantastic entertainment over both sessions. Our 2026 lineup is amazing. Northern Monk, Wylam Brewery, Pixie Brewing, Amity Brew Co, Black Lodge Brewing, Atom Beers, Datum Attitude Brewing Co, Ticking Clock Brew Co as well us here at Bayonet Brewing all confirmed to pour for you all! Masham Cider Press will be returning with their amazing local cider and ABV Events will once again be slinging you the best gin, rum & prosecco! That not enough we've also got our pals from Polish Craft Beers returning with an array of amazing brews in can and keg. PLUS local hero's The Stumble Inn will be taking over our last bar and providing you with extra ciders, NO/LO and soft drinks! That means there are 13 bars for you to explore through the not, not bad hey?!
Not been to a festival like this? All the breweries will be at the festival serving from their own bars so try their beers and meet the teams! Check out our socials for weekly brewery/vendor drops but this is about as far from a traditional beer festival as you can get and we're making sure every one of you leaves having had a brilliant time!!
By the way, did we mention that all your drink is included?!? Yes that's right, we've once again done away with tokens and awkward pricing systems - pay for your ticket, sample as much craft beer, cider, gin, rum and prosecco as you like and make the most of an amazing event!!
Not keen on beer? Firstly, ouch! We get it though, not everyone is a beer drinker which is why we've packed the festival with a whole host of alternatives for you and your friends! We've got loads of announcements to follow but you can expect a great range of different ciders plus different gins, rum and prosecco - and it's all included! PLUS this also includes No/Lo options as well as soft drinks so get the whole team together and head to Northallerton in August, there's something for everyone!
What about entertainment? We've got some fantastic live music booked for you over both sessions so you can absolutely expect to dance the session away at Northallerton's event of the summer! Plus we have some extra surprises that we can't wait to share as we get closer to the event!
