August's Newsletter is a Nottinghamshire staycation special with information about visiting our region's beautiful Country Parks, open spaces and top North Notts attractions.

We include details about Visit England's new 'We're Good To Go' scheme, which encourages us to come out and visit places as well as the 'Eat Out to Help Out' government scheme where we can all enjoy a whopping 50% discount on food every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday during August.

And, of course, we bring you the latest events happening across North Nottinghamshire.

I made a great discovery a couple of weeks ago when I was driving back home from a visit to Retford -  a wonderful fruit and vegetable stall in the centre of Sutton cum Lound village.  It was stocked with such an amazing array of fresh, seasonal vegetables, salads and fruits that I had to stop and buy some!

There may be no such thing as a free lunch but 50% off sounds good to us!

Find out which local restaurants, pubs and cafes are participating in the government’s Eat Out to Help Out scheme and where you can get 50% off your meal up to £10 per head, every Monday to Wednesday during August.

Many pubs, restaurants and attractions are opening up again but, if you’re still wary about going out, there’s now something that might help you feel more confident in visiting them.

Visit England’s ‘We’re Good To Go’ new industry standard may just be your new best friend!

In this month's Newsletter we bring you the latest news about visiting our beautiful Country Parks and open spaces including the re-opening of the iconic Ornamental Bridge at National Trust's Clumber Park, Thoresby Park's new events and more.
