Waterfront Festival
Calling all fans of live music and brilliant beer gardens! Waterfront Festival returns to The Canal House for 2018 and it's set to be an absolute smasher as ever, with thirteen hours of live music, performance and fun. A great opportunity to see what fantastic live music has been brewing in Nottingham over the past 12 months, highlights this year include Bru-C, Howlin’ Bones, Slumb Party, Daisy Godfrey and Chambers and lots more! The theme this year is Old School Sci-Fi, so don your tin foil and Kurt Russell eyepatch if you so wish. As usual all profits go to a chosen charity, this year being Emmanuel House and Nottingham City Hospital Wolfson Cystic Fibrosis Centre, so you can party away knowing it’s for a worthy cause. |
