A NOTTINGHAM Forest fan zone has moved to a new and bigger location.

FANPARK, which claims to be the city’s biggest fan zone, has moved to Brewhouse & Kitchen, off Trent Bridge. just in time for Forest’s home match against Crystal Palace.

The fan zone will be open for all Forest fixtures and Euro 2024 games.

The site will also be hosting what organisers describe as Nottingham’s biggest matchday street food court, which will be open to members of the public who want to experience the array of food and entertainm­ent, as well as match-goers.

The new, larger fan zone will be just two-minutes from the City Ground, has a heated outdoor terrace and views over the River Trent, as well as a large outdoor screen for Euro 2024.

There will also be a bigger street food court, multiple independen­t bars inside and outside, an improved happy hour at 5pm for every postmatch occasion, and a larger selection of craft beer and entertainm­ent.

It is one of a number of existing fan zones in the city, with other nearby locations including at the City Ground itself and at the Trent Navigation Inn, in Meadow Lane.

Sach Nijran, Founder of FANPARK, said: “We are excited about this move, it puts us in the heart of the action, with us being uniquely located only a couple of minutes away from the City Ground, Meadow Lane and Trent Bridge.

“Additional­ly, It allows us to step up the fan experience with a bigger street food court, more entertainm­ent and cheaper drinks.

“Our new space allows us to have up to eight of the best street food traders from across the UK which change weekly, allowing us to cater for all tastes and dietary requiremen­ts.”

He added: “All traders will serve before and after each match. With the team coming from the TV and film background, the entertainm­ent line-up is something we really focused on, adding bits - DJS, live music, hosts, special guests a fanlead panel will all help get fans ready for the big match”.

Max Hayes, host of FANPARK and

Garibaldi Red, Nottingham­shire Live’s Nottingham Forest podcast, said: “I’m buzzing at the opportunit­y to host FANPARK.

“It’s more than just a fan zone to us, we want to bring the Forest community together, so whether we win, lose or draw, we help make amazing memories.

“We encourage every fan to come down, soak up the atmosphere and visit us at FANPARK.

“With the street food court, entercainm­ent line-up, thousands of fans, and beautiful views over the River Trent it’ll be a great day out.”
