Ruddfest, Ruddington’s annual beer and cider festival, returns to the village in June, with around 200 beers and ciders on offer for thirsty visitors to enjoy. The festival starts at 12 noon on Thursday 1 June and runs through to last orders on Sunday 4 June.
Ruddfest will once again run across 4 sites, with The Green playing host to The Three Crowns, The Three Spices, Bar Six and a new arrival for 2017: Jasper’s Café. Elsewhere in the village, Ruddfest will take place at The Frame Breakers on the High Street, The White Horse on Church Street and The Victoria Tavern on Wilford Road.
CAMRA members will be entitled to a discount on beers and ciders at all 4 venues throughout the festival. As usual, each site will be organising their own drinks lists and tasting notes, food offerings and entertainment. Highlights for 2017 are set to include the return of last year’s popular Gin Bar to the marquee on The Green – this time with over 20 premium gins to try – and the final of the ‘Ruddington’s Got Talent’ competition at The White Horse on Sunday 4 June.
