Botttomless brunch is a pretty big thing in Nottingham right now; it offers all the fun of a big night out mixed with a lazy weekend breakfast and a chance to catch up with your pals. When we  heard about one of the latest brunch offers from the stylish St James Hotel, we couldn't wait to experience it. 

The last time I went to the races was as a child with my family. I remember the hustle and bustle of it all, the suits, the bookies on their stalls, the thudding of hooves and asking my Dad if we could go right up to the track and watch the thoroughbreds sprint past the finishing post. It was quite the treat then, to make the trip to the Southwell Autumn Floodlit Flat Races - so I was delighted to be given the opportunity to visit again.

Visit Nottinghamshire headed over to test out our skills at the exhilarating Clip'n'Climb - where climbing meets theme park.

Halfway between the heady summer evenings and the festive December cheer, this time of year can be a bit dismal. But some places are welcoming the darker nights, flinging their doors wide open of an evening instead of shutting the world away. Rufford Abbey has recently launched something called the "Spectacle of Light", which promises an “amazing illuminated trail” and a “magical after-dark adventure”.

Guest writer Alice Calvert headed to the lovely Stonebridge City Farm for an animal feeding and handling experience.

The Engine Yard is one of our favourite places to go for a bit of fresh air, so when Visit Nottinghamshire started hearing stories about the latest addition to the village – the intriguingly named Balloon Bar – we couldn’t resist dropping by to find out whether the hype was deserved or whether it was all just a load of hot air.
