Halloween is pretty low key for us this year, as we're working something important for the rest of 2026.... It’s pretty likely that all our lives will be affected by dementia and for some of our customers, it’s a very current, and troubling, experience. So when our lovely customer, Mandy, suggested a festive fundraiser for Dementia UK, we got right behind her plans.
Then when Trev and Julie fixed a date for this year’s Mushy Pea Night with the same charity in mind, it all came together.
Next Friday, 6th November kicks off the fundraising with donations for Nottingham’s delicacy and we’ll have raffle tickets ready to pick up. The prizes Mandy is collecting in are looking absolutely fabulous, but if there’s anything you want to donate as well, there’s room for more! We’ll be bringing it all together with a festive funday on Sunday 20th December for the raffle draw and a host of other fun and games all for charity - keep an eye out for more info on this coming soon....
Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family, working towards a day where no one has to face dementia alone. Their specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing advice and support, to anyone affected by dementia, whenever it is needed. Sounds to us like something super valuable to have around, for now and for those of us who’ll need it in the future.

Join Darren Simpson, Jon McGregor and Megan Taylor for a chance to chat informally about their books, writing and publishing. Covering themes such as folk horror, psychological thriller and the transformation of ordinary lives, their books match the season as we move into early winter. We're aiming to keep things warm, friendly and informal. It'll be as if they've just dropped into the pub for a pint but we've got them all to ourselves!

The bar will be open and snacks provided. Places are limited - £5/person which will be donated in full to the National Literacy Trust. Contact Lucy at The Abdication to book your spot [email protected]

🍻🎫🍂 OCTOBER YEAR OF B**R 🍂🎫🍻
Pouring from Wednesday 4pm, we have a very seasonal ale from Thornbridge Brewery for you this month. Autumnity refers to the very essence of autumn, and this Autumn Ale captures it perfectly. Pouring a rich dark copper colour, this b**r is robust and full-bodied, with a satisfying mouthfeel and deep, warming flavours. Ideal for crisp October days - hopefully they'll come back before the end of the month!!
This is b**r #13 for 2026 - nine monthly seasonals and three wild cards already drunk. Three more b**rs to go, with a very special wild card conditioning in the cellar 🤩 Who'll get all 16 stickers this year? 🎫🍻

🌟T H A N K Y O U 🌟
What a fabulous day we had on Sunday! A record breaking 25 people joined along the walk from Meadow Lane back to The Abdication, with most (cough, cough) completing it! With varied routes taken through the city, we all convened at The Lincolnshire Poacher, ready for the stroll along the Mansfield Road back home to Daybrook.
And there the fun and fundraising started!! With the Raffle, Quiz, Sticky 13s and Stand Up Bingo, we raised an incredible £640 for Treetops Hospice There's more on Jim's Just Giving page too. If you missed out on Sunday and would like to contribute to the important work they do, the link is below 👇
As Matt says 'The staff from Tree Tops were a huge help while Dad was in the final stages of life. Without them, we couldn't have brought him home to live his last few weeks, in comfort, in the place he loved and for all of us to spend precious time with him. It's a hugely valuable service for anyone in this situation and as a charity, they need as much support as we can give. Huge thanks to Jim for another fabulous fundraising Sunday'

🍻 1️⃣1️⃣ We're in it again 🥳🤩
Thank you to all those folks putting your b**r scores in and the hard working Notingham CAMRA branch for recognising our little pub and the quality of the ale - 11 years in a row in the Good B**r Guide!! It's a total pleasure serving good b**r to good people 😊

🍻 YEAR OF B**R - THE SEPTEMBER ONE 🍻
Coming this Friday (or maybe thurs....keep an eye on our stories), Worker Bee from Thornbridge Brewery is a true tribute to the traditional Manchester Bitter, it’s sessionable, balanced and packed with character. Pouring a warm blonde, it opens with a light floral hop aroma. On the palate, the lighter malt provides a smooth, rounded backbone while the hop bitterness keeps the finish crisp and refreshing.
Grab a pint of this delicious stuff and your September sticker 🎫
