Have you ever wanted to be a charity trustee?  At the moment, getting involved actively in something that you care about can be uplifting and give a real sense of purpose, and there just happens to be a wonderful opportunity for the right person.

Creswell Crags Museum and Prehistoric Gorge in North Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire is looking for five new trustees over the next couple of months, as part of its exciting future plans to grow and improve.

Bonfire Night celebrations and fireworks displays across Nottinghamshire, just like the whole of the UK, have sadly fallen victim to the coronavirus restrictions and are in very short supply this November 2020.

Virtually all the wonderful Bonfire Night events and fireworks displays usually held at our local rugby clubs, sports & social clubs, community spaces and pubs, in villages and towns, have been cancelled, but we’ve looked really hard and found you some fireworks events in Nottinghamshire and further afield.

Halloween might not be happening in quite the same way this October but we bet your family still want to be thrilled and chilled during the Halloween and Half Term holiday!

Fortunately there’s lots going on to keep children (and mums & dads!) happy - from terrifying tales and spooky trails in all our country parks, frights in the forest and wizarding adventures to name but a few.

If Halloween isn't for you, there are plenty of non-Halloween events going on this half term too! 

Check out the full list of hair-raising Halloween events here in this year's In North Notts Half Term & Halloween Events Guide.

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.

There's also information on how you can visit Bassetlaw's town centres more safely, the success of Creswell Crags' superb fundraising endeavours to try and secure their future and, of course, the latest events happening across North Nottinghamshire.
