It all adds up to an exciting time for kids and families, so let’s try and whet all your appetites with a guide to things to do and places to go this coming weekend.
We’ve come up with no fewer than 17 ideas for getting out and about either side of the match in the coming days across Worksop, Retford, Mansfield, Ashfield and the wider Nottinghamshire area.
You can tell Halloween isn’t far away because the Sherwood Forest Visitor Centre is hosting a haunted, spooky trail, while pumpkin-picking starts in Oxton.
Walking trails are also on the agenda at The Harley Gallery in Welbeck and at Hardwick Village in Clumber Park. Worksop hosts an evening with award-winning author Chris Riddell and a special talk on Bolsover Castle. And of course, it’s never a bad time to visit Bassetlaw Museum in Retford.
Mansfield’s Palace Theatre has a packed programme again, celebrating nights in Ibiza, rock legends Pink Floyd and top West End shows such as ‘Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat’, ‘The Lion King’, ‘Les Miserables’ and ‘The Phantom Of The Opera’. Mansfield also hosts one of its popular vegan markets and a chance to research your family tree.
Before setting off, please check the individual website of your chosen destination for admission prices and opening times. Have a great weekend!
