Newark Beer Festival
Newark-on-Trent is well served by public transport, the ideal way to
reach the festival.
Our marquee is in a glorious setting on the Riverside Park in the shadow
of Newark Castle. It is an easy walk (5 minutes) from the bus station
and within spitting distance (if you're a good spitter) from the train
station.
Newark is served by two stations, generally North-South by National Express Trains calling at Castlegate and East-West by East Midlands Trains which stop at the Castle station.

Travel Info
By Air
If you can find a bargain flight, we are only about a 40 minute drive from East Midlands Airport Regular flights operate to European destinations as well as the major UK cities.
By Car
We certainly don't approve of drink-driving, but if you are bringing friends or family by road, we are located adjacent to a Council car park, which is pay-and-display.
Soft drinks are available in the marquee for designated drivers.
Nottinghamshire County Council provide a
journey
planner for travel within the county. Very useful for those more
complicated routes.
Volunteer staff at the beer festival will be able to provide you with
some timetable information for your journey home. There will also be a
list of telephone numbers for local taxi companies.
