Next month's Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival will be serving up more than just beer and cider, with a full schedule of live music performances also on the menu.

From rich Americana soul to folk pop and indie rock, those attending the festival will be treated to a variety of musical performances across two stages, showcasing some of Nottingham and the UK's finest musical talents.

The main stage will be located in the marquee in the TBI Courtyard, whilst the acoustic stage will be in the Undercroft, located under the Hound Road stand.

A DJ will also be performing by the pitch for added atmosphere, as the festival ventures onto the hallowed Trent Bridge turf for the first time.

Saturday's 'Party Night' on the final evening, taking place between 7pm and 11pm, will see Jamcafe Resident DJs spinning the vinyl and playing their signature tropical beats, as the festival comes to a close.

There'll also be appearances throughout the festival from Robin Hood himself, the Foresters Morris and Greenwood Step Clog, local charity hero Zandra and the White Diamonds as well as percussion school, Bloco Transcultural.
