Despite the rain this afternoon I’ve had a brilliant drive through Bawtry and Austerfield enjoying their ‘yellowness’ in honour of Le Tour de Yorkshire which passes through our region this coming Saturday 30th April.

There’s yellow bunting galore and a wonderful array of yellow bicycles fixed to fences, propped up against walls and even on top of buildings, together with a few blue bicycles, all lining the route that Le Tour will be taking.

Look out for a brand new, inclusive, children's community choir starting in Retford this April.

The North Notts Makaton Choir is open to all children from ages 5 to 16, with the aim of enhancing community cohesion.

So, what is there to do in North Nottinghamshire during a generally fine and dry weekend at the end of February? Lots!

Whether you like to spend your time outdoors or in, there’s a great variety of things to do this weekend in the Retford and Worksop region.
