The popular Ay-Up Market returns later this month!

The Ay-Up Market – a celebration of Nottingham's independent retailers and creatives – returns to Old Market Square from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 April.

More than 60 local stallholders will be selling a variety of products, including freshly baked goods, sweet treats, vintage clothing, plants, skincare, homeware, jewellery, and pet accessories.

There will also be an exciting programme of live music, plus cultural performances and activities.

The Ay-Up Market is organised and funded by It’s in Nottingham – the city’s business improvement district – with support from Nottingham City Council.

Nottingham Puppet Festival – free city centre event

The puppets are coming! Nottingham Puppet Festival will be taking over the city’s streets on Saturday (13 April) for a day of amazing performances and parades from 11am to 4pm.

Visitors can see Mahogany Carnival Design’s spectacular costumes, watch Inspirate’s Ancient Giants in a battle between good and evil, enjoy beautiful storytelling at the Central Library, and get close up to By Our Hands’ handcrafted marionettes. There’s also a puppet trail from Sneinton Market to Nottingham Central Library.

Celebrating the impact of Transforming Cities in Nottingham!

Transforming Cities - a programme funded by money secured by the council from the Government in 2020 to help make travel to work, leisure and more greener and easier – is now coming to end so we’re highlighting some of the projects that have been completed

Our project to create new and improved paths at Colwick Country Park went above and beyond what was originally planned, and we were able to create 4.5km of new paved paths instead of 1.5km following great feedback from park users.

Hopefully lots of Nottingham people will be able to get out and about and enjoy Colwick Country Park even in muddy weather, thanks to the new paths!
