Otley Beer festival is a charity event organised to raise funds for local charitable causes thanks to our main sponsors and ‘sponsor a barrel’; but mainly thanks to the help and efforts of our friends from the Parish Church and from the local community. Since 2002 we have raised over £100,000 for the Parish Church and for local charities. This year because we can't operate in the way we usually do, we are holding the Beer Festival with the help and support of the town's pubs, who are hosting a cask or casks of real ale on their premises, but as usual all the money raised will go to our good causes for 2020.
