Check out this great video from last year showcasing the amazing vibe at the Nottingham beer festival, where craft beer tasting from various independent breweries was truly a highlight.












Step into the heart of Nottingham’s thriving craft scene at the Nottingham Beer Festival, set within the iconic grounds of Nottingham Castle. Bringing together the city’s finest independent breweries, this vibrant celebration offers a unique chance to explore an exceptional range of craft and cask beers, all in one unforgettable setting.
With over ten independent brewery bars, plus guest pours from friends of Nottingham’s brewing community, there’s always something new to discover. From bold, modern brews to perfectly conditioned classics, every pint tells a story of local passion and creativity. Alongside the beer, enjoy a handpicked selection of local ciders, delicious street food, and live music that keeps the atmosphere buzzing throughout the day.
Whether you're a seasoned beer enthusiast or just curious to explore something new, the Nottingham Beer Festival is the perfect place to relax, connect, and celebrate the very best of independent brewing.

A raoming brass band to welcome you to a unique, interactive atmosphere that a traditional stage setup simply can’t match. From breaking the ice to keeping the energy high, this roaming brass band brings our event to life.

Hosting the festival in Nottingham City Centre and supporting Nottingham Castle adds a real sense of local pride and heritage to the event. The Castle itself is such a great landmark, and having it as a backdrop for the festival will create a truly unique atmosphere. Plus, with the city centre being easily accessible via great transport links, it'll be convenient for people to come from all over to enjoy the event, including those keen on craft beer tasting from independent breweries.
April should be a perfect time too - spring in full swing, so attendees can enjoy the outdoor vibe as festival season gets well and truly underway. The Nottingham beer festival will be a great opportunity to showcase the city’s vibrant culture to both locals and visitors alike, encouraging them to explore more of what Nottingham has to offer, whether it's historic sites, local shops, or the lively pub and indie beer scene.

Live local bands and musicians performing from the iconic bandstand will really set the tone for the Nottingham beer festival and give it that extra special touch. The combination of great local music, craft beer tasting from independent breweries, and the historic backdrop of Nottingham Castle will create a vibrant and memorable atmosphere. April evenings in the city centre can be quite magical, especially with a bit of live entertainment to keep things lively and upbeat.
The line-up is still to be announced, so watch this space! We are looking forward to celebrating some home-grown talent on the Castle's iconic bandstand.
