With our recent dose of good old British weather, who can say whether the summer has returned or the autumn is creeping slowly in? Rain or shine, this weekend Nottinghamshire hosts a fantastic variety of events and things to do!
A special shout out goes to Spandex Ballet at Nottingham Contemporary, which brings the skills and strength of wrestling into the art world with a variety of flamboyant performers.
