Beer we go! Countdown to Robin Hood Festival

THE highlight in Nottingham beer drinkers' calendar is just around the corner.

- 

The annual Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival is gearing up to open once again at Trent Bridge Cricket Ground in West Bridgford.

Organised by Nottingham's Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), beers and ciders from all over the country have been sourced from Scotland to Cornwall and Wales to the East Coast, plus three brews from Ireland. The 500-plus beers include gluten-free and vegan and the winners of the East Midlands Cider and Perry competition.

After a trade and CAMRA members day on Wednesday, October 8, it will open to the public on Thursday October 9 and run until Saturday October 11, from 12pm to 10.30pm.
