Monty’s Toddler March
Toddlers assemble! To celebrate National Walking Month, this Sunday at the fascinating Creswell Crags a small stampede is taking place! Bring along your tots for a wander around the scenic lake and meadow with Monty Mammoth. Aimed at younger children, the day will be topped of with free juice, a certificate and cave themed story telling back at the museum. Staying for the afternoon? We highly recommend checking out the Cave Tours at Creswell, which shed light on how the area was populated in the Ice Age and lets you get a look at cave art from residents over 5000 years ago. Enjoy a spot of lunch in the Creswell Crags Museum Cafe, or head to the Welbeck Farm Shop nearby to stock up on locally sourced goodies! For more information, please click here |

Art Out Loud at Chatsworth returns in 2018 for its fourth, and largest, edition with talks by speakers spanning the worlds of art, architecture and design.
As part of The Grand Tour Season Three, the influential British artist Linder Sterling has been welcomed as the inaugural artist-in-residence at Chatsworth House.
Artist and musician Linder Sterling will create a new, major installation as part of a new sculpture exhibition in the garden at Chatsworth this autumn, to be unveiled alongside works by artists such as Antony Gormley, Dame Elisabeth Frink and Barry Flanagan.
Since 1921 Highfields Park has remained the home of The University of Nottingham with the original Highfields House being absorbed into the campus as a staff annexe.
The year 2018 marks the centenary of the first UK general election in which some women were entitled to vote. We celebrate that fact by looking back at some memorable elections and exploring how electioneering has changed over the years. Before the first Reform Act of 1832, few people could vote and powerful aristocrats could sway the results. Papers from the disputed Cumberland election of 1768 reveal stories of coercion, bribery and corruption. Printed ballads and posters give a flavour of the songs and spectacles which attended elections in Nottingham in the early years of the 19th century.
Rana Begum’s meditative and transformative work blurs the boundaries between sculpture, painting and architecture. It has affinities with the built environment and her use of repetitive geometric patterns – found both within Islamic art and the industrial cityscape – also takes its inspiration from childhood memories of the rhythmic repetition of daily recitals of the Qur’an.
