There’s a real feeling of spring in the air, and we’re excited to get out and about in the county this weekend.

Take a look at our five favourite events coming up here, and don’t forget there are plenty more ideas of great things-to-do in our What's On guide.

Visit Nottinghamshire never passes up an opportunity to explore Derby Road, so when we heard that Focus Gallery had reopened following a major refurbishment over Christmas, we were determined to be the first through the doors to see the new look.

A little venture off the beaten track can lead to unique encounters and rewards, so indulge your curiosity with a trip to Nottingham’s lesser known, but ever-so-intriguing attractions.

Love in most certainly in the air in Nottinghamshire this weekend, with Valentine’s Day fast approaching.

The ever-enchanting Light Night sees the city come alive with illuminations, installations and inspired performances. This year’s delights are all inspired by the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 spaceflight and landing of the first man on the moon. With so much going on, we’ve selected a few favourites and things not to be missed to guide you though the city on this most magical of evenings.
