A Popular annual event is shaping up to be even more popular this year, with an expected 2,000 turnout.

The event is at main state-of-the-art brewery and taproom in Handley Park, Osbaldwick, on Friday and Saturday April 19 and 20.

Over a hundred beers will be pouring across the weekend, with talks and tastings from various breweries, plus street food venders, entertainment, family-friendly games and activities for children.

A brewery spokesperson said: “Ticket sales are stronger than last year - the Saturday afternoon session sold out in January and Saturday evening is very close! 

“We are expecting 1800-2000 people on site over the two days... a good few hundred more than in 2023... and we've just had to ask our breweries to bring extra beer! It's going to be a great year!”
