About

Nottingham Independents' Castle Beer Festival
Friday 24 & Saturday 25 April 2026
Nottingham Castle

The Nottingham Independents' Castle Beer Festival is back for 2026, and will see Nottingham’s independent breweries once again taking over the iconic Nottingham Castle for a weekend of great beer, local talent, and unbeatable views across the city.

After a hugely popular first year, the festival returns with even more to enjoy, including an expanded programme which now features a Saturday daytime session as well as the usual evening slots over the weekend.

Set within the Castle’s atmospheric grounds and overlooking the city skyline, Castle Beer Fest offers a backdrop unlike any other beer festival in the region. Guests can enjoy Nottingham’s finest independent beers while taking in panoramic views and historic surroundings, creating a truly unique festival atmosphere.

As well as being Nottingham’s newest beer festival, it is also the only one organised entirely by the breweries themselves. 

Tickets go on sale on Friday 12 December at 12pm.
