*Winter Wonderland is now open!*

I am happy to say that Winter Wonderland, the city’s premier Christmas attraction is now open at Old Market Square. There’s lots for festive fun-seekers to enjoy at this years event, which runs until New Year’s Eve.

You can get the best city views on the Observation Wheel and Sky Skate Ice Path, indulge in delicious food and drink at the Sur La Piste and Altitude chalet bars, chill out in the Ice Bar, and start your Christmas shopping at the market stalls.

Entry is free but some activities are ticketed. I am delighted to say we have worked with Mellors to offer Nottingham City residents a 10% discount on super off-peak and off-peak ice-skating bookings.

Super off-peak and off-peak reduced price skating tickets are available on Mondays to Thursdays outside of the school holidays. You can find the different timings available on the link below.

Council backs Assembly plan as a way to involve whole city in tackling climate change

A plan to hold a Nottingham Climate Assembly aimed at getting local people and organisations involved in discussing how the city can reduce its carbon footprint and become more sustainable has been backed by Nottingham City Council.

The Climate Assembly is being organised by the Nottingham Green Partnership which is the co-sponsor, with the Council, of the ambition for Nottingham to become Carbon Neutral by 2028, ahead of any other city.

Nottingham Green Partnership has already held a series of small-scale climate assemblies with local community groups but now wants to widen participation in the discussion about Nottingham’s sustainable future by holding a larger Climate Assembly that would fully representative of the city’s makeup.
