The Harrogate Rugby Beer Festival is back this weekend.

The annual Harrogate Rugby Beer Festival is back for a second year this weekend.

Following the successful inaugural event last year, the festival will return to the Apollo Capital Stadium on Rudding Lane this Saturday (5th July).

The festival will run from 12pm until 10pm, featuring music from The Longshadow Family, Stacey Squires as Pink, George Brook-Dobson, 9bar and MFOR.

Rugby fan are encouraged to arrive early to take in the Waratahs v British Lions game kicking off at 11am on the big screen.

The event, organised by Harrogate RUFC, will include a bouncy castle and inflatables, with Angels and Butterflies set to run a children’s craft stall.

There will also be a scribble tent for kids wanting to show off their artistic ability.

Mike Cowling, Commercial Chairman at Harrogate RUFC, said:

“All funds raised will go to the Harrogate Rugby Foundation, providing sports facilities for players of all ages and abilities in a safe environment.

“Come along and enjoy the day or night, bring your friends and let’s make it the best festival possible!”

There will be a shuttle between Pannal Post Office and Rudding Lane. From there you can catch trains to Harrogate and Leeds, or the regular 36 bus service in both directions.

There will be a sign outside the post office and a number to call if the shuttle isn't there when you arrive. It’s only a 4 minute drive.
