8th Skipton Beer Festival

  • Rendezvous Hotel
  • 2014 29th to 31st May

The pirate theme looked like it could get silly, plans for a fancy dress publicity crawl and spot prizes at the festival. It was going to be the spring bank holiday, we anticipated even more people so we were coming up with all sorts of ideas to get even more beer in. BANG! The Town Hall refurbishment built a large chair cupboard which effectively wiped out 1/3 of our beer area. Complicated plans were developed to serve beer from the stage, not good but workable. BANG! A health and safety inspection condemned one of the fire exits and the revised Town Hall fire limit dropped from 450 to 160 and the work to repair it would almost certainly not be completed by the end of May. Is somebody trying to tell us something?

Thanks to Rendezvous Hotel who were able to accommodate and to a group of bus enthusiasts who kindly ferried people between the station, town and Rendevous the festival went ahead in the hotel ball room, the grandest venue we have ever had. It’s a big thank you to both for stepping in and keeping the festival going.
