Information for CAMRA members
CAMRA members can gain free access to the festival on all four days of the festival using their membership card to gain access.
Contactless payment
In light of customer feedback, and in order to make the festival more accessible, beer tokens have been replaced by contactless payment on all bars, allowing attendees a simpler way to sample the delights of each brewery and drift from bar to bar without the need to revisit the token booths.
NEW for 2026 – Trent Bridge Wine, Champagne and Prosecco Festival

Both festivals will grace the concourses and bars of the venue, along with the historic Trent Bridge Pavilion following the completion of its £10million redevelopment, between Wednesday 7 and Saturday 10 October.
Tickets for both events are on sale now, with visitors able to save up to £5 per ticket in the early-bird window, which runs until Friday 17 July.
