Feel Good this January

After all the excitement and merriment of Christmas and New Year celebrations, January can sometimes feel a little glum, so we’ve pulled together some top events and ideas this month across Nottinghamshire to help you banish those pesky January blues. 

From whisking yourself away to a gorgeous spa for ultimate relaxation, enjoying one of our famous winter walks, visiting the award-winning Pure Land Meditation Centre and Japanese Garden, to enjoying a splash about in a sub-tropical setting at Water Meadows Swimming and Fitness Centre for all the family, there’s plenty to do in Nottinghamshire this month to rejuvenate, revitalise and truly relax.Check out our 2-day Wellbeing itinerary for more ideas on how to unwind in Notts.

Head to one of Debbie Bryan's wonderful craft sessions to help you unwind and explore your creative side. With a variety of workshop options from Nottingham lace punchcard to Lampshade making to felt appliqué cameo brooch to glass painting and more, you're sure to find something to suit. 

If you're looking for a unique and interesting way to exercise without hitting the gym, why not book yourself on to one of Nottingham's brilliant guided tours to learn all about our fascinating history and heritage while you walk? We recommend joining the Nutty Nottingham Comedy Tour - a ninety-minute fun-filled jaunt around the city. For a more high-energy activity, try out the Beeston Boat & Horses Ceilidh (pronounced 'kay-lay') - an invigorating Scottish dancing experience for all the family, with no previous experience necessary.

Nottingham's Theatre Royal and Royal Concert Hall has a fantastic cultural offer this January. We recommend booking tickets for either of the utterly enchanting Moscow City Ballet shows - The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. Both are presented in classic Russian style with a full orchestra for a breathtakingly spectacular experience with Russia's best dancers, beautiful sets and stunning costumes.

If you're trying to be a little more health-conscious this January, how about trying your hand at veganism? A great place to start would be the plant-based Burn's Night Supperclub with Craig Floate at Debbie Bryan on 25 January 2020. Craig Floate is a highly regarded chef based in Nottingham who cooks the most delicious food - his ever-popular Supperclubs at Debbie Bryan sell out fast so be sure to get tickets soon! Of course, Veganuary shouldn't be about depriving yourself of your favourite foods, so head to Annie's Burger Shack and treat yourself to the vegan or veggie version of any burger on the menu.
