Coptoberfest returns to St Giles' Church, Copmanthorpe

A small, friendly beer festival just outside York is set for an almighty blessing when it opened by Stephen Cottrell, the Archbishop of York.

The popular ‘Coptoberfest’ in Copmanthorpe, is making its final preparations for an early Thursday start, with it running until Saturday evening.

The event, held in the village’s St. Giles’ church, gives the proceeds of the festival to charities and good causes.

Teams of volunteers convert St. Giles’ Church to a beer hall for the weekend where all takings from the door, profit from the bar and food is then used to help other people.
