The Nottingham Contemporary art gallery is a staple of the city’s cultural landscape. The building itself is an elegant piece of architecture, and inside plays host to a range of thought-provoking exhibitions and events throughout the year. I was delighted to be invited to experience the current offering of art work, and try the food in their cafe  - I’m a sucker for a sculpture and a snack!

Having been crowned ‘Regional Theatre of the Year’ in 2019, Nottingham Playhouse have set the standard pretty high in the past couple of years. We’re delighted that their latest production Moonlight and Magnolias falls nothing short of the brilliance we’ve come to expect – a laugh-out-loud riot which doesn’t shy away from a sensitive and intelligent discourse on representation within popular culture. 
 

The National Justice Museum are the undisputed champions of immersive, character-led experiences, so when they asked us to help solve a Valentine's Day murder at one of their Cocktails and Crime evenings, we jumped at the chance to interrogate the suspects and hunt down the clues in one of Nottingham's most extraordinary historical haunts. 

If someone asked you, “How would you like to walk around a dark room, blindfolded with a futuristic backpack on for 15 minutes”, what would you say? No? Let me rephrase that.

The last time I went to the races was as a child with my family. I remember the hustle and bustle of it all, the suits, the bookies on their stalls, the thudding of hooves and asking my Dad if we could go right up to the track and watch the thoroughbreds sprint past the finishing post. It was quite the treat then, to make the trip to the Southwell Autumn Floodlit Flat Races - so I was delighted to be given the opportunity to visit again.

Visit Nottinghamshire headed over to test out our skills at the exhilarating Clip'n'Climb - where climbing meets theme park.
