Nottingham's 12 Pubs of Christmas

Nottingham's 12 Pubs of Christmas kicks off at Nottingham Venue on Thursday 3 December, starting at 18:00. It's a festive pub crawl through the city, with twelve stops at different establishments around Nottingham, each serving up seasonal offerings. The whole thing is run by the UK Pub Crawl Collective, a high-energy, student-driven events brand that puts on 12 Pubs of Christmas crawls across the UK, and they're billing the Nottingham edition as the city's biggest Christmas pub crawl.

It's aimed at students across all the local universities as an end-of-term celebration, so it's built for a crowd that knows its way around the city's nightlife. The ticket covers entry to every venue on the route, exclusive drink deals at each stop, professional photographers to capture the night, and a fully organised route to follow, so you don't have to worry about the logistics while you're on the move. Festive fancy dress is highly encouraged, with Santa, elves, reindeer and Christmas trees as the suggested dress code, and you'll need to bring valid ID.

It's a long night with twelve stops to work through, so it's more of a marathon than a sprint. The route takes you across the city, sampling seasonal drinks as you go, with the fancy dress adding to the scene. Tickets are £3, and it all gets going at 18:00 on Thursday 3 December at Nottingham Venue.
