Beer festival returns to support Blackburn Youth Zone

Now in its fourth year, the popular Blackburn Beer Festival returns to the Blackburn Rugby Club in support of Blackburn Youth Zone.

Last year, more than 1,000 people joined the festival, which helped Blackburn Beer Festival raise over £20,000 for local charity, Blackburn Youth Zone.

The Blackburn Beer Festival will take place at Blackburn Rugby Club from Friday 28th, Saturday 29th April and Sunday 30th April. Tickets cost £5 each and are on sale now and this includes complimentary pint glass, pen and festival programme.

Laura Phelan, events and stewardship manager at Blackburn Youth Zone, said: “We are thrilled to find out that Blackburn Youth Zone is the festival's charity of choice again this year. The funds raised make such a difference to the lives of young people in our community.”

Youth Zone is open all year round, 7 days a week and offers over 20 activities each evening. Best of all, entry is just 50p making it accessible for all young people in our community. Local businesses can also get involved by sponsoring a barrel of beer.
