Nottingham’s Splendour Festival 2023: What to eat and drink

Splendour Festival will be celebrating its 15th birthday this July and alongside the incredible performers, a variety of food stalls and drink vendors will be in attendance.

The festival will have a range of food stalls including wood-fired pizzas, BBQ smoked meats, gourmet burgers, jerk chicken, hog roast, Chinese noodles, and fish and chips.

Nottingham’s award-winning Memsaab signature wraps and Leicester’s Mirch Masala Indian street food will be available, both offering vegetarian options. Vegan options including burgers, wraps and salad boxes will be on offer from a vegan stall.

If you are looking forward to having a few drinks in the sun while listening to the performers, a range of beers, cocktails and soft drinks will be on offer.

Local breweries including Castle Rock, Hollow Stone, Navigation, Bang The Elephant, Black Iris and Splendour ale will be available in the ale tent. Some on-tap venues around Nottingham will have previews of the ales available leading up to the event.

In the Main Arena, Big Drop Brewing Co., the UK’s first independent alcohol-free beer brand, will be offering its award-winning alcohol-free craft beers, which use barley, rye, wheat and oats to give a range of flavours and aromas to its array of beers.

Intune CBD will be serving its all-natural, vegan, sparkling fruit and botanical soft drinks, infused with cannabidiol - a plant reported to help with balance and focus. Their beverages can be enjoyed on their own or used as a mixer for spirits and cocktails.

Poppy’s Pineapples, a company which launched in 2021, will be serving pina coladas fresh from the pineapple, and the Brooklyn Brewery bar will be serving Defender IPA.

Splendour tickets are priced at £102 for an adult weekend ticket, £61 for an adult day ticket, £67 for a youth weekend ticket and £41 for a youth day ticket. Discounts are available for city residents.
