Morley Glass supports North Leeds Charity Beer Festival 2026

Morley Glass has once again been announced as the main sponsor of the 2026 North Leeds Charity Beer Festival, said to be an increasingly important community fundraising event which takes place on 10-11 April at North Leeds Cricket Club in Roundhay.

Now into its 14^th year, the annual event organised by the Rotary Club of Roundhay is expected to attract hundreds of beer, cider and gin enthusiasts from across the region.

All the proceeds from the two-day event, which features live music and food in addition to a unique array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, are used to support charities and community projects at local, national and international levels.

With over a month to go to this year’s festival, since it started, more than £100,000 has already been raised, giving valuable projects in the local area and further afield immediate support. And the event is gaining an international following too with The Rotary Club of Lausanne International, Switzerland also joining in and supporting the event.

Morley Glass has sponsored the North Leeds Charity Beer Festival for a number of years, and its continued support reflects the company’s commitment to supporting local community events and good causes across West Yorkshire.

The organisers and supporters of the event have helped it to develop into a community charity fundraiser without losing its original aim of showcasing locally produced beers from micro and independent breweries.

Ian Short, Managing Director of Morley Glass, said the business is proud to play a role in helping the festival continue to grow.

He said: “The North Leeds Charity Beer Festival really has become a highlight in the North Leeds calendar, bringing people together while raising vital funds for fantastic causes. Supporting our communities has always been a key part of what we do at Morley Glass, so we’re delighted to sponsor the festival this year.

“We hope our involvement helps the organisers continue the brilliant work they do and encourages more people to come along and enjoy the weekend.”

Festival organisers have welcomed the sponsorship, saying that support from local businesses like Morley Glass is essential in ensuring the event can raise as much money as possible for the community.

Richard Wharton, North Leeds Charity Beer Festival organiser, commented: “The North Leeds Charity Beer Festival has now been running for 14 years and raised over £100,000, all of which has been donated to charity. At the same time, it has become a much-anticipated and well attended event for the local community.

“We are grateful for the support of Morley Glass, who have been involved in the festival for many years and provide a huge amount of support and help in running the event.”

The 2026 North Leeds Charity Beer Festival will feature a wide range of Yorkshire beers and ciders, live music, food stalls and family-friendly entertainment.
