Friday 25 June 2010: Bootham Crescent Beer FestivalBy Ian TyssenThe third annual Bootham Crescent Beer Festival will take place over the weekend of Friday 25th - Sunday 27th June 2010 in the York City FC Social Club (YO30 7AQ).
As it will be taking place at the same time as the 2010 World Cup Finals in South Africa, there will be a World Cup theme.
You will be able to sample some fine ales, ciders, perries, and lagers (from all around the world) whilst watching the big games on the TVs around the Social Club.
As in 2009, the event will be raising money for the York City Youth Fund, which has been set up by parents of York City Football Club's youth players to raise funds to save the Youth Team.
Opening Times:
Friday - 7.00pm until 12 midnight
Saturday - 12 noon until 11.00pm
Sunday - 12 noon until 11.00pm
