Nottingham Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival

About

The legacy of Nottingham’s official Robin Hood will be honoured at this year’s Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival, which returns from Wednesday 8 to Saturday 11 October.

2025 marks the fifth year the event has been staged at the historic home of Nottinghamshire CCC, with the venue’s concourses set to play host once again to over 600 beers and 100 ciders & perries from the country and county’s most celebrated brewers including Blue Monkey, Lincoln Green, Castle Rock, Batemans, Lenton Lane and Shipstone’s.

Tickets will be placed on sale in the coming weeks, with visitors able to register for early-bird access.

Those who secure tickets in the early-bird window will be able to claim a free ticket to Notts Outlaws’ Metro Bank One Day Cup clash against Gloucestershire on Friday 22 August.

Tim Pollard, who represented Nottingham’s legendary outlaw at events for over 30 years, passed away last month following a short battle with cancer.

He was a firm fixture at Nottingham CAMRA’s Beer and Cider Festival events, as the event found homes at Nottingham Castle, Nottingham Arena and Trent Bridge.

The ongoing development of the Trent Bridge Pavilion sees a change to the traditional layout of the festival, with a new indoor site hosting multiple brewery bars in the Boundary’s Edge, the hospitality lounge on the first floor of the Radcliffe Road Stand.

The Trent Bridge Inn Courtyard Marquee will serve as the centrepiece of the festival and host an eclectic bill of musical acts from Thursday to Saturday.

The Smith Cooper Concourse will feature brewery bars from a host of celebrated local brewers while Nottingham Brewery will occupy a pitchside position in front of the William Clarke Stand.
