Seeing Chris Denning's stunning shots of Wollaton Hall has been so uplifting throughout lockdown. We got in touch for a chat to find out why this area captured Chris's eye, how he manages to capture the majesty of the natural world with his lens, things to look out for at Wollaton Hall throughout the seasons, plus some top tips for budding photographers. 

After the stresses and strains of 2020, you’d be forgiven for feeling more scrooge than Santa’s elf this festive season. So, we headed to the brand-new socially-distanced illumination trail at Wollaton Hall to see if it would help us shake of the seasonal blues and embrace the Christmas spirit. Spoiler alert: It's magical. 

Nottingam and Nottinghamshire are stunning at this time of year and a frosty walk can be just the tonic to combat seasonal blues or rouse you from your festive stupor on Christmas Day. Wrap up cosy and take a wander around one of the county's country parks, canals or our iconic Sherwood Forest.

Given everything we’ve missed out on in 2020, there’s never been a better time to buy your friends and family ‘experience’ gifts this Christmas. Here at Visit Notts, we can’t wait to start making up for lost time and creating some cherished memories with our loved ones, so buying a voucher for an experience next year is a wonderful way to keep everyone’s spirits up this winter.

A grassroots campaign to support and celebrate all things independent, Small Business Saturday takes place on the first Saturday of December each year. For one day, why not boycott the big brands and bring genuine joy to someone by supporting their enterprises while picking up some great gifts or a treat for yourself in the process. 

We caught up with Mary Trease, Head Wine Buyer at the family-run Weavers Wines to get her expert recommendations for food and wine pairings ready for the festive feast. Cheers!
