With the new Robin Hood film hitting cinemas this week we’re excited to share the tales of our local legend. For an outlaw themed outing explore the majestic Sherwood Forest and seek out the famous Major Oak, take a look at our Robin Hood itinerary for ideas and inspiration, or read on to find out about some special themed events and our other top picks for this weekend.     

Much to our delight, Nottingham Winter Wonderland is back, and this year things are bigger and better than ever before. The crowds turned up in their hundreds for the grand opening and Christmas lights switch-on yesterday, and we were privileged to be among them to get a first look around this incredible Christmas attraction.

Castle Rock Brewery certainly have plenty to celebrate this month. Not only did they win the Sustainable Tourism Award at the Nottinghamshire Hospitality STARS Awards, but the Canalhouse scooped the prestigious Tourism Pub of the Year Award. We can’t resist dropping by for a chat; the Sustainable Tourism Award is arguably the most important of all and we’re intrigued to know how they did it.

We meet with Liv Auckland, Brand and Communications Manager, and Pete McWilliam, Head of Property, Maintenance and Technical Services.

Visit Nottinghamshire have launched a multi-faceted #RobinHoodMovie campaign surrounding the upcoming film, which will be released in cinemas on the 21^st November.

We’re gearing up to spread good cheer and embrace the Christmas spirit this weekend with the return of Nottingham’s Winter Wonderland, a Winter Wonderland of their own arriving at Twinlakes Family Theme Park, and Christmas markets across the county. Don’t worry if you’re not ready to deck the halls quite yet, there’s plenty of brilliant events coming up without a jingle bell or bit of tinsel in sight. 

Following the runaway success of the 2018 Nottinghamshire Hospitality STARS Awards, we head to Bridleways Guest House to chat about their fantastic win (they won B&B of the Year and were finalists for Holiday Park of the Year, too). We sit down with a cup of tea in their charming breakfast room, overlooking the spacious and attractive garden in the heart of the beautiful Nottinghamshire countryside. It’s easy to see why this lovely place took the award on the night.
