Ale trails in Nottingham city centre

What better way to celebrate than by bringing all of the above together with our seven ale trails – each named after a well-known friend or foe of Robin Hood. These trails weave around the city centre, taking you from drinking spots that are steeped in history, those that are more modern, and a whole mix of characters in between!

Can we tempt you to an ale trail – and a half, or pint – in some of our favourite places for a tipple?
