Welcome to the Ripon Rugby Club Beer Festival!
After another unforgettable event last year, we want to thank everyone who came along and made it such a success. The atmosphere, the drinks, and the community spirit were truly outstanding, and we couldn't have done it without our amazing supporters.
This year's festival takes place on Saturday, 27th June 2026, and we're gearing up for our biggest celebration yet. Expect an incredible range of craft beers and ciders, mouth-watering food, live music that keeps the party going, and fun entertainment for all ages.
We're deeply grateful to our sponsors and the dedicated volunteers who make this weekend possible every year. Their hard work and enthusiasm bring the event to life.
Tickets are expected to sell quickly, so spread the word, gather your friends and family, and secure your spot early. Join us for another fantastic day in the best beer garden in Ripon—cheers to the 2026 festival!

Beer! You can't have a beer festival without it! The Yorkshire cask ales will be as varied as last year, with the way being led by Theakstons. There will also be a wide selection of lagers and ciders for you to choose from.
All things not beer - PIMMS PIMMS and more PIMMS! Again this year Pimms will have its own bar and we are already stock piling the cases of Prosecco, Gin & Wine.
-
Our food stalls will be varied this year making sure again we tick the quality box to keep you happy in all things to tempt your taste buds. The gourmet burgers will be back by popular demand, and this year we'll be offering pizzas, mac n cheese, burgers, curry and wraps, bringing you the flavours of the world. There will also be a good selection soft drinks and snacks to keep your kids happy.

Although this is a beer festival, I think we all agree after last year what a great family day it was, with music playing and all that space for the kids to run around in. We will be again having bouncy castles and all things inflatable to keep the kids entertained.
-
The live music for the beer festival is carefully selected for your enjoyment and we will be welcoming The Mothers back onto the stage, along with Downtown Underground to top of the day. We'll have a selection of great bands, solo artists and a DJ that will entertain you in the sunshine.

This event is run to improve our fantastic rugby club (and for us all to have a good time). The profit from previous years helped upgrade the floodlights to match quality and more recently to upgrade the pitch side fencing. The next big project we want to do is the changing rooms refurbishment. With big plans to extend and improve our facilities sponsors for this event are very much appreciated. Packages start at £130 to sponsor a barrel.
Please contact Andy Bruce or Nik Hill if you feel you can help.
