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.

If you go down to the woods today, you’re in for a big surprise… The all new Nets Kingdom at Sherwood Pines! A welcome addition to the Go Ape family which already includes two different tree top adventures and a forest Segway experience. I was lucky enough to take my ‘tribe’ to try out this exciting activity earlier this month...

Inside their iconic green and gold building embedded with lace, you’ll find eccentric artwork you can wear or sit on, lots of weird and wonderful family activities and crazy optical illusions. So what can you do that makes Nottingham Contemporary a perfect family day out…

What better way to spend one of our sunny days during this summer’s heatwave than at Robin Hood's Wheelgate Park in north Nottinghamshire. Like little keen beans, my children and I headed over to be there for the doors opening at 10am to make the most of the day.

It’s not every day that you get to share an experience quite as captivating as this. Jack Baddams, ornithologist and heritage facilitator at Creswell Crags in North Nottinghamshire tells us about ringing of the birds at the Crags.

Drawn from a breathable cloth bag, like a rabbit from a hat, comes the most exquisite creature. With a mask of iridescent crimson and a vibrant splash of brightest yellow, this ornithological jewel that has just been revealed is a stunning goldfinch.
