Hide AdSally Gillborn, chief executive at North Notts BID, said: “We’re so excited about the possibility of being able to hold the food festival this year.
"We were devastated when we had to cancel our event last summer, so this glimmer of hope from the government means that we can start to prepare for restrictions to be lifted and work towards bringing the community back together again.
“Following a difficult year for many businesses – especially those in the food and drink sector – we’re hoping that the festival will attract footfall to the town centre and provide local business owners with a way of attracting new custom to help them get back on their feet.”
