Head to Nottingham Castle for the Great Food and Drink Festival this May

With a range of stalls that would please the Sheriff  himself, Nottingham Castle forms an iconic venue for any festival and this May sees the arrival of the Great Food and Drink Festival throughout the county. The event promises to be a fantastic occasion for young and old with a huge selection of stalls exhibiting local produce and fayre from further afield. The event will be held on 23rd/24Th/25Th May 2015 at the Castle and features over 100 stalls as well as craft making, demonstrations and how-to classes. We know we'll be there to sample as much as possible.

A Quick Pint at Beer Shack, Hucknall

It's amazing to think since it's opened up to now we hadn't visited Beer Shack over in Hucknall but a choice training run for Jemma and I took us past on Saturday morning. It was part of a 12.5 mile run so I felt it only right to ask Jemma if she fancied a beer that evening in lieu of her efforts.

So that evening we drove out to Hucknall (Although I only had a half as driver) to sample the delights that Beer Shack had in store for us. It's nothing more than a shack on the outside but when you're out in search of real ale it's easy to look past such insignificances.
