If you’re planning a walk around Bingley this spring, why not make a weekend of it and raise a glass at the Ale Saints Community Beer Festival? Now firmly established as one of the highlights of the local calendar, this much-loved community event is back for 2026 – and it promises to be as warm and welcoming as ever.
Tucked away in Church House on Old Main Street – just opposite the historic All Saints Parish Church – the festival punches well above its weight for such an intimate venue. Don’t let the size fool you though; what it lacks in scale it more than makes up for in atmosphere and character.
What's on offer?
The focus is firmly on quality cask ales, with a strong selection from local Yorkshire breweries alongside a few guests from further afield. And if ale isn’t your thing, there’ll also be gin, bottled lager, and cider to keep everyone happy. Live music is lined up for both evenings, making it a proper social occasion rather than just a drink-up.
Best of all, entry is outstanding value at just £8, which includes a festival glass and your first pint – or equivalent – to get you started.
