A Look Back: Our Fantastic 2025 Festival!
The Nottingham Robin Hood Beer & Cider Festival 2025 returned to the iconic Trent Bridge Cricket Ground for the 5th year and it was another resounding success! The days of the festival were bathed in glorious autumnal sunshine! Over 500 beers and 100 ciders and perries were on offer over the course of the festival, a wonderful selection and
showcase of all that is beer. Despite the reduced capacity at the Ground, due to the significant rebuilding work of the Pavilion, we were thrilled to welcome thousands of visitors who enjoyed the incredible array of real ales, ciders, and perries, alongside vibrant live music and delicious food.
Unfortunately there was one sad aspect of the event. Our local Robin Hood Tim Pollard passed away earlier in the year and his presence was sorely missed. Fundraising took place at the event for Maggie’s Cancer Care.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a memorable event. We’re already working hard to make 2026 even better!
