Beer Festival 2026

Returning to the stunning setting of Kirkstall Abbey, this year's festival brings together an exceptional line-up of UK and international breweries, alongside the very best in local independent food, live music and DJ-sets - making it an event not to be missed. 

Across six lively sessions over four days, the festival takes over the entire abbey. From the breath-taking church to the central cloister and atmospheric chapter house, you'll be able to sip craft beers and ciders, enjoy delicious street food, and soak up the atmosphere in one of the country’s best-preserved Cistercian monasteries.

Tickets are on sale now - secure yours today. Choose individual sessions or go all in with the popular Festival Pass for access to all six sessions.
