By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes… It’s the season of the supernatural and there’s a host of hauntingly good events, fearsome festivities and spine-tingling attractions across Nottinghamshire as we get into the Halloween spirit. If that isn’t your bag of tricks, never fear, there’s plenty of other great events happening this weekend without a pumpkin or horrifying Halloween play-on-words in sight.

The pretty market town of Newark-on-Trent has a rich and riveting history, but on the brand-new Mis-Guided Tour by Professor Bryan tour you’ll need your wits about you to decipher just what is part of the historical record and which fanciful titbits have been added to the tales by your enigmatic guide. Intrigued by such an unusual concept and always happy to spend a day exploring Newark, we hot-footed it over to find out if we could spot fact from fiction on a special preview of this alternative walking tour. 

Visit Nottinghamshire had the opportunity to try out a new virtual reality escape room at Meetspace VR; a virtual reality, social gaming and e-sports arena at intu Victoria Centre. As excited as we all were, we could not have prepared for the truly mind-blowing experience we encountered.

Follow an illuminated trail on an after dark adventure, take an unusual tour of a historic town, go wild on a foraging walk, step back in time to the 1940s or celebrate the heritage of the humble Bramley Apple in the picturesque town of Southwell. Take a look at some of our favourites events and things to do coming up this weekend in Nottinghamshire. 

Visiting the Robin Hood Beer and Cider Festival this weekend? Our resident card carrying CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) member and self-styled ale aficionado took it upon herself to sample as many local brewed ales as possible on the opening evening to bring you some recommendations.

It’s a fantastic weekend for festivals in Nottinghamshire, whether you’re looking to sample some of the finest beers in the country, see boundary pushing, innovative dance or get scared witless watching horror films.
