A Nottingham beer festival is set to return to the city centre offering real ales and craft beer, alongside amazing entertainment, local street food. The event will take place at the Arboretum on Waverley Street from Friday, August 26 to Sunday, August 27.
This year, over 20 different local and national breweries including Castle Rock, Neon Raptor, Thornbridge and SALT will take part in the beer festival. Although there are a lot more to be announced over the coming weeks.
Tickets are already on sale starting at £10 for a day pass and £15 for a two-day pass. Visitors will also be given a commemorative Arboretum beer festival glass and a program as part of their ticket.
Beer fans will be able to sample over 50 different ales and craft beers on cask and keg with a handful of cider options. The festival will also provide some street food to help soak up the beer with local vendors providing stalls and vegan food.
There will be a series of different performers taking to the Arboretum bandstand over the two days. The acts are yet to be announced but there have previously been performances by Grace Petrie and Beans on Toast. The festival will also host an Acoustic Room busk stop which will host unplugged performances from local acts.
The first Arboretum Beer Festival took place as part of their Sunset series during the summer along with yoga and performances by musicians and DJs. Over 500 people visited the event to enjoy a pint or two in the sun and enjoy the music.
Patrick Somers, DHP Family, said: “We love putting on amazing events for people, especially the people in our hometown of Nottingham, and the Arboretum Beer Festival combines our love of music and our love of tasty beer perfectly. This will be only our second year at the historic Nottingham Arboretum, but we hope that the festival can become a mainstay on the calendar of prestigious local events!”
