Steve Westby, Nottingham CAMRA chairman, said: "Trent Bridge has been the perfect partner for us in the last two years as we have seen the festival grow and grow into its new home. Hosting the festival in the surrounds of one of the most prestigious cricket grounds in the world adds a real sense of occasion."
Beer fans can enhance their experience on the Friday and Saturday with food accompanied by expertly paired beers in Trent Bridge’s Derek Randall Suite. Guests will also be able to put their questions to the experts in a ‘Meet the Brewer’ Q&A session, and explore some of the more fabled corners of the venue on a guided tour. Tickets are £49.
Nottinghamshire County Cricket commercial director, Michael Temple, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting the festival for the third year in succession which has grown both in size and stature during it’s time at Trent Bridge. This is one of the most historic cricket grounds in the world which adds a unique flavour and has seen thousands of the Nottinghamshire public turn out to support the event."
