The remaining profit goes towards the running of the building and delivery of amazing activities in both Scouts and Guides in Kirkburton.”

Kirkburton Uniformed Group relies on the generous support they receive from their sponsors to deliver the beer festival that is known and loved.
However more sponsors are needed!
More sponsors will enable the group to donate more to their chosen charities, for whom costs to operate have been going up in all areas.
If you would like to Advertise in our programme, sponsor a barrel or a pump, or maybe something larger like the marquee, please get in contact and we will share the packages they have available.
If you are a local group or charity, would you like to run a stall or activity at the village fayre? This could be an ideal way to fundraise or simply publicise your activities. Whilst enjoying some community spirit and a pint.
Kirkburton Uniformed Group also welcomes additional volunteers to join their small team of organisers – especially to help run aspects of the event in the setting up and breaking down, as well as during the event itself.
No previous experience needed! Just willing trustworthy people!
In either case groups or individuals can contact Kirkburton Beer Festival for further information.
