Description:
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. This is an 18+ event!
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.
Entry to the beer festival includes a reusable half or pint cup to use throughout the festival and keep as a souvenir!
