Keen to get involved in the foraging renaissance and pick up some useful survival skills, Visit Nottinghamshire decided to book ourselves onto the trailblazing Foraging and Wild Food Cookery Course at the School of Artisan Food to see if it lived up to the hype.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll be aware that Nottingham is home to the world’s only large-scale, free-roam, multi-player virtual reality gaming arena. When Visit Nottinghamshire received an invitation to try it out for ourselves, we practically ripped their hand off.

If ever there were a quintessentially Nottinghamshire-esque activity, Go Ape at Sherwood Pines has got to be it. Gallivanting through the trees at Sherwood Forest like a certain outlaw hero you may have heard of? You can’t get much more Nottinghamshire than this.

When we were invited to trial the new Cherries and Berries Spa Day at Eden Hall - recently crowned the UK’s Day Spa of the Year - we practically bit their (manicured and moisturised) hand off.

It's the perfect place to visit with mum on Mother's Day.
