Step back into the most iconic decade in music as 80s MixTape with Live Orchestra arrives at Nottingham Castle for an unforgettable summer evening.

Experience the biggest hits of the era performed by a powerful live orchestra, blending soaring symphonic sound with the legendary pop, rock, and dance anthems that defined a generation. From synth-driven classics to emotional power ballads, every moment is designed to have you singing along, dancing with friends, and reliving the soundtrack of the 80s.

Arrive early, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy a wide selection of street food vendors serving delicious dishes alongside a fully licensed bar offering cocktails, beer, wine, and soft drinks.
