Pub Trail Group

The Pub Trail Group visit Newark July 2024

The Pub Trail Group is a friendly, sociable group that meets monthly for food, drinks and a good laugh!

We usually visit a range of different pubs in an afternoon. Typically we travel from Radcliffe by bus to our first port of call where we have food. We may then move on to at least a couple more pubs. Although we will aim to find pubs that serve good real ales, this does not mean you have to be a real ale drinker. Anything goes, wine, soft drinks or even the hard stuff if you wish. Whatever your tipple is, come along and join us! If you are new to the area it is also a great way to get to know people and places.

We often visit Nottingham city centre to explore its variety of interesting and in some cases historic hostelries but we also travel further afield to explore outlying suburbs and villages and what they have to offer. We may even arrange local brewery tours and go to beer festivals.

Our members don’t all live in Radcliffe, so Nottingham city centre is a convenient place for us to meet. Contact us using the button below.
