The UK's touring craft beer festival!

Join us for Nottingham Craft Brew Festival on Saturday 27 June 2026 at The Nest

Boring beer festivals? Not on our watch. We’ve taken the beer festival rulebook, set it on fire and launched it out of a confetti cannon. Craft Brew Festival isn’t like any other beer festival - it’s five hours of full-throttle, all-in, party-mode madness with bottomless craft beer, cider, wine, non-alcoholic beer, soft drinks and prosecco. No faff. No overpriced drink tokens. Just pure, unfiltered fun.

  • Nottingham Craft Brew Festival 2026 will run for a total of five hours from 1pm to 6pm on Saturday 27 June 2026.

  • Brewers from each brewery will be pouring their own beers at the festival.

    This gives you the opportunity to talk to the brewers about their beverages and find out more about the brewery and how they make their delicious craft beers.

  • The festival will feature a diverse range of beers, from hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to sours, saisons and everything in between, all carefully selected to offer a unique and unforgettable tasting experience.

    For non-beer drinkers, we will also be serving delicious craft cider, wine and prosecco.

    For attendees who prefer not to drink alcohol, we’ll be pouring non-alcoholic beer and soft drinks.

    We’ll also give you a handy festival programme on entry, that lists everything on offer.

  • For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, we’ll have one non-alcoholic beer on draft, along with a selection of soft drinks.

    At Craft Brew Festival, we offer a single non-alcoholic beer option due to the historically low demand for alcohol-free options at our events. In the past, offering multiple choices led to significant waste as unused stock expired. To stay sustainable and minimise waste, we’ve chosen to focus on one quality non-alcoholic option on draft.

    Please note: The non-alcoholic beer we serve contains 0.5% ABV and is subject to availability (like all drinks).

  • Nottingham Craft Brew Festival is hosted at The Nest. The venue is accessible to all, with dedicated staff available to assist if needed.

    There is also an easy accessible toilet located within the venue.

    For any specific requirements, please don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team by email.

    If you're lucky enough to look under 25, please bring a government ID to show at the door.

    We had so much fun meeting your furry friends last time and can’t wait to see them again.

    Please note our events are very busy and we advise you only attend with dogs who are confident with large crowds and comfortable in a noisy environment.

  • Yes, we’ll have a wide selection of awesome street food being served at the festival.
