Adventures at Mill Waters is operated and managed by Notts Outdoors and was launched last year as part of the county council's commitment to improving health and wellbeing in Nottinghamshire's communities, growing the economy, improving living standards and its tourism offer. It boasts an array of high-flying attractions for thrill-seekers while a number of water-based activities have been introduced this summer.

The Little Festival of Heritage & Nature is part of the Mill Waters Next Steps Project, which has been led by Ashfield District Council – with support from the county council – and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
