Drinks Marquee

The drinks marquee will have a welcoming bar with a full range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cold beverages, and it will host the Yorkshire Dales Real Ale Festival.

Real Ale Festival

We are grateful to Daleside Brewery for once again sponsoring the Yorkshire Dales Real Ale Festival. Over 30 local micro breweries are represented producing beers with a wide range of flavours and strengths which visitors will be able to sample after judging has taken place.

In 2011 The Dales Festival Cup was awarded, after careful consideration by expert judges, to Golden Salamander, brewed by Salmander Brewing Co.

We are certain that the competition in 2012 will be similarly fierce.
