Welcome to the South Notts Real Ale Festival

From humble beginnings in 2012, the South Notts Real Ale Festival has grown to become a popular event on the East Midlands Beer Calendar. Run entirely by volunteers, the purpose of the festival is to raise money for local charities and youth rugby in Nottingham, as well as celebrating the end of the rugby season in style!

With help from our friends from Nottingham CAMRA, we bring together some fantastic beers – both local and from further afield – with great ciders and gins, good food and brilliant bands.

Beer, cider and gin

Our raison d’etre – the festival features approx. 40 cask ales, with the emphasis on LocAle (brewed within 20 miles). As well as our festival favourites, this year we showcase a number of new breweries and beers.

Music

To keep the party popping, we are entertained by some of the East Midlands’ best bands. The bands all give their time for free to support our fundraising efforts – so put on your dancing shoes and come and show them some love.

Sport

Nottingham Moderns RFC's Presidents Day takes place on the Saturday, with both Junior and Senior matches to enjoy.
