The roaring successful show ‘The Dinosaur that Pooped’ is back! Join Danny and Dino on their quest to get the last two tickets to the last ever concert of their favourite rock band. With a villainous band manager and lots of hurdles on the way, will Dino’s rumbling tummy save the day? This adaptation of Tom Fletcher’s and Dougie Poynter’s best-selling books with brand new songs and a new story for the stage will be a roaring good time for the whole family!
2. Funhouse Comedy Club – Comedy Night in Chilwell
Friday 30 January 2026 | 8pm – 11pm | The Garage Chilwell | Tickets £15
Looking for a night full of laughter and brilliant stand-up comedy? Chilwell’s The Garage is where it’s at this Friday, with the return of Funhouse Comedy! Topping the bill is one of the UK’s most unique performers, the cheeky Jack Gleadow. Jack will be joined by a fantastic line up, including the intrinsically funny Lloyd Griffith, who will be kicking of the night, and one of the fastest rising stars on the Midlands circuit, Scottish funnyman Kevin Daniel. With the easy going and confident Nik Coppin as compere of the night, there’s no doubt you’ll be belly laughing from start to finish!
3. Survivor Testimony: Eva Clarke
Sunday 1 February 2026 | 1pm – 2.30pm | National Holocaust Museum | Event tickets: £5 adults, £3.50 children, Admission tickets: £10 adults, £7.50 children, £9 concession
In honour of Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, Eva Clarke BEM will be taking you back in time with her as she tells the remarkable story of both her mother’s survival and her own. Eva's testimony shares the incredible details of both her and her mother's lives, before, during, and after the Holocaust.
The National Holocaust Centre and Museum is so much more than a museum. It’s a vibrant memorial, a place of testimony and a Centre of learning for communities of all faiths, and none, across the UK. Since the Centre was established in 1995, in the grounds of a former farmhouse in the village of Laxton, on the edge of Sherwood Forest in North Nottinghamshire, it remains the first and only place of its kind in the UK.
4. Brown Fang
Friday 30 January 2026 | 6.45pm & 9.15pm | Peggy’s Skylight | Tickets £15
This Friday night’s performance at Peggy’s Skylight is looking to be a treat for the ears! The Nottingham instrumental duo Brown Fang will be performing their Peggy’s debut with an expanded line up and playing as a full quartet for the first time for this special show. Bringing together the sounds of classic American minimalism, dub basslines, Tangerine Dream synths and wide-screen, slow-release guitars - you'll be unwilling to leave. Brown Fang will be performing two shows at Peggy’s Skylight this Friday.
5. Grace Petrie – This is No Time to Panic!
Friday 30 January 2026 | 7.30pm | Canalhouse | Tickets: £18
Like protest songs? Neither does Grace Petrie - and she's been singing them for 15 politically disastrous years. No longer able to meet the deadened eyes or desperate hopes of leftwing audiences, she reckons there's no better time for a feel-good show! Depressed by fascism, misogyny and eco-destruction? Sounds like your climate needs a change! Long respected as the British folk scene's funniest lesbian, Grace's This is No Time to Panic! sees her combine music and comedy for the first time. She knows folk songs can't save the world, and neither can standup. But both at the same time?? It might just do the trick…
Wherever your weekend takes you, don't forget to head out and make the most of everything our region has to offer!
