By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes… It’s the season of the supernatural and there’s a host of hauntingly good events, fearsome festivities and spine-tingling attractions across Nottinghamshire as we get into the Halloween spirit. If that isn’t your bag of tricks, never fear, there’s plenty of other things happening this weekend.

After Pugs and Dachshunds, it was about time for the French Bulldogs to show Nottingham’s Café Sobar how it’s done. Being the animal lovers that we are here at Visit Nottinghamshire, we wouldn’t let this event go by quietly. So off we popped to the pop-up Frenchie Café on a sunny Sunday morning, and let’s be honest, being surrounded by adorable Frenchies is always a good way to spend a day out the office!

Ahead of the Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival opening on Wednesday (17 October), we grabbed five minutes with the festival organiser, Steve for some quick fire questions – he’s a busy man!

We all know life can get a bit hectic every now and then, and we don’t always take the time to wind down and treat ourselves. Luckily, MindAlive is there to keep us all in check and take us right back to the basics of breathing in and breathing out. And so, on the 5^th of September, the first Kitty Calm event was organised at the Kitty Café - for an hour of relaxation, meditation and mindfulness.

December is nearing, which can only mean one thing – Elf: A Christmas Spectacular is coming our way! From Friday 28 December until Sunday 30 December you can see the hit West End and Broadway musical, in all its glory at Motorpoint Arena Nottingham. We got the chance to speak to the stars of the show and give them a special ‘Nottingham’ present – a rubber ducky.

In the run up to the most important day celebrating the ones who passed away, Halloween, National Justice Museum is running its highly popular Terror Tours. We were lucky enough to experience a tour for ourselves and we were definitely not ready for what was waiting for us when we arrived at the museum on one September Friday evening.
