Are you ready for WensleyAle 2018?
For the fourth year running, you can come along to WensleyAle, the beer festival hosted in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire.
They’re building on the success of the 2017 event, and are hosting three days of drinks, food and entertainment at the Redmire Station on the Wensleydale Railway.
The event opens 7pm on 25th May, serving drinks and food all evening, and even includes a pub quiz. Starting at 8pm, teams of 2-4 members can join in with the quiz for a small fee, and put their general knowledge to the test. There are great prizes to be won, and you can also tuck in to a BBQ with both meat and vegetarian options available.
Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th are packed full with a line-up of great musicians, food and, of course, drinks. The festival opens at 12 noon on both Saturday and Sunday, running well into Saturday night and coming to a close at 10pm on Sunday. Luckily, you’ll have the bank holiday Monday to recover!
There are 35 beers on offer throughout the weekend, as well as 10 ciders, prosecco and gin. Hungry Gaucho will be serving BBQ food or you can tuck in to a treat from the Noodle Kitchen.
You can check out the musical line up here, and see what beers and ciders are going to be on offer.
All weekend, the railway lines will be in operation, to take you to and from the event in style and safety. You’ll also have the opportunity to sponsor the great work that the Wensleydale Railway volunteer team do. They’ve recently launched a Sleeper Appeal to allow people to donate £1 (or more!) to sponsor a virtual sleeper. There are a lot of projects the Railway want to undertake, starting with the need to upgrade their level crossings with new LED lights and electronics. As soon as they’ve completed these upgrades, they can get the railway to Northallerton back up and running again, making it much easier for visitors to get into the Dales.

Book your rail tickets, donate your £1 and get ready for an awesome weekend at the WensleyAle festival!
