Brewhouse Yard sits on a street of the same name in Nottingham, a Grade II listed site that dates back to around 1675. The museum occupies a converted 17th-century brewhouse with associated caves beneath, offering visitors a glimpse into Nottingham’s industrial heritage and the geology beneath the city. The caves themselves are a distinctive feature of this part of Nottingham, carved into the soft sandstone that lies under much of the area.
The museum is managed as part of Nottingham Castle’s broader heritage offerings and operates from the NG7 postcode district. While the site is not wheelchair accessible, it remains an important record of how Nottingham’s breweries operated during the 17th century onwards. Access is available during standard opening hours, with the museum providing an intimate setting for exploring the craft and conditions of historical beer production in the city. More information and opening times can be found through the Nottingham Castle website.
