Ale'Up Nottingham!

This summer, enjoy old favourites and the freshest new venues, with Ale’Up Nottingham.

This year's event is bigger and better than ever, featuring not only Cask Ale but also Craft Beer from some of the best establishments in town.

The festivities begin on Monday 5 June and come to a close on Sunday 16 July 2023. The best part? Taking part is completely free! 

How does it work?

We’ve created seven trails for you to follow across Nottingham city centre, and seven limited edition badges to collect when you complete each one.

Check here for participating venues

Taking part is easy: 

  • Pick up a free trail map from Nottingham Tourism Centre, Brew Cavern, or any of the participating venues and choose one of the seven trails to follow
  • Buy a half pint (or a pint) of Cask Ale or Craft Beer in each of the listed venues and ask the bar staff to stamp your map
  • Once you’ve collected all the stamps on the trail, make your way to Nottingham Tourism Centre or Brew Cavern in Flying Horse Walk to collect a lovely, limited-edition pin badge. 
  • You can visit the venues in any order, we’re ok with that, but the badges are limited so don't wait too long to start exploring!
