A city beer festival is returning this week with five days of live music and street food pop-ups. 

The NR3 Beer Mile sees 11 pubs collaborating to create “one of the best beer miles in the country”. 

It runs from Wednesday to Sunday with tap takeovers, beer mash-ups, treasure hunts, quiz nights and drink and draws.

Guests can get a stamp at each pub and upon completing the booklet can receive a one-off NR3 badge.
