Speciality ales, street food and live entertainment – one of Leeds’ most unique beer festivals is back, and you could be there.
When Kirkstall Brewery launched The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales, it was all about reconnecting with the past. Inspired by the brewing heritage of Kirkstall Abbey, this is a festival rooted firmly in tradition – think historic recipes, old-school techniques and a proudly “Citra-free” line-up. Now in its fourth year and moving to a brand new home at The Tetley, it’s bigger, bolder and more exciting than ever.
We’re giving one lucky winner four tickets to The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales, plus four beer tokens each. Enter now for your chance to win.
Celebrate historic ale in a grand setting

If you’re our lucky winner, you’ll get four tickets to The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales, attending on the day of your choice. You’ll get to immerse yourself in the history of brewing as breweries from all over the UK dip into their archives and revive historic recipes for one weekend only. Now in its new home at The Tetley, it’s a fitting setting for a deep dive into the history of brewing.
So, who’s on the line-up? Expect big names like Northern Monk and Timothy Taylor’s, alongside breweries from further afield including Cheltenham’s DEYA, Belfast’s Boundary and London’s Five Points.
It’s not all about the beer either. There’ll be street food from the likes of Niko’s Comfort Kitchen and The Aire Fryer, a wine bar from Once Upon A Vine, plus live music and entertainment throughout the day. And when the main event wraps up, the party continues, with afterparties at Kirkstall Brewery venues and 20% off your first round when you bring your programme.
What you’ll win:
- Four tickets to The Great Exhibition of Prize Ales
- Entry to your chosen session across the weekend
- A commemorative festival glass each
- A festival programme each
