There's a noticeable chill in the air as we get into November, but don’t worry - across Nottinghamshire there’s plenty of events coming up this weekend to help you resist the lure of cosy blankets and the urge to huddle up indoors and hibernate! 

A special mention goes out to the Chateaubriand and Wine Night at Hart’s Nottingham, which promises a luxurious four-course evening meal paired with a bottle of Chateau Violette Moulis 2014. The 30th Anniversary Celebrations and Irish Night - A Celebration of all-weather racing at Southwell Racecourse also offers a wonderful night out with a three course meal, a charity raffle and a Q+A session with TV presenter Derek Thompson and Grand National winning jockey Bob Champion. Also well worth a visit is the Malt Cross Heritage Tour, a fascinating tour of the Victorian music hall and the sandstone caves below.
