Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival will return to Trent Bridge once again this year with even more bars and barrels for 2022. The flagship event for Nottingham CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) will take place from Wednesday 12 October to Saturday October 15.
Last year the event switched to the iconic ground, the home of Notts County Cricket Club, in West Bridgford, for the first time. Brewery bars representing Castle Rock, Blue Monkey, Navigation Brewery, Nottingham Brewery, Lenton Lane and Shipstone’s will stand alongside stillages of quality real ales from esteemed brewers across the country.
Nottingham CAMRA chairman Steve Westby said: "Last year’s festival was a triumphant return after a two-year absence and we’ve worked on some changes to the festival site to make this year’s event one to remember. Nottingham is a hotbed for brewers and this event will celebrate their commitment to the old favourites and their quest to unearth new flavours for real ale fans to enjoy.

“We’re delighted to have extended our partnership with Trent Bridge and look forward to making this year’s festival our best yet.”
Tickets will go on sale later this summer but keen beer drinkers can already register their interest at trentbridge.co.uk/CAMRA.
Trent Bridge will also play host to music stages, a key keg bar, perries and ciders, gin and tonic outlets and a wide selection of street food vendors. Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club commercial director Michael Temple hopes that new attendees will enjoy the backdrop of one of the world’s most historic sporting venues.
“The Beer Festival was a true highlight in our calendar last year and we’re really pleased that Steve and the CAMRA team have confirmed that Trent Bridge will continue to host such a prestigious festival,” he said. "We all learned a lot in hosting the event and we welcome CAMRA’s plans for a bigger and better festival this year. The festival plan includes hundreds of extra seats, more space on the concourses and new areas to discover."
