This bank holiday weekend, Nottstopping Festival is celebrating and connecting Nottinghamshire - all whilst fundraising to provide gifts, treats and experiences for frontline workers.
Join in with over 180 activities and 200 hours of entertainment for the whole family!
It's not a real festival if you haven't got a wristband, right?
The Nottstopping team have thought of that and have created a snazzy Festival toolkit with wristbands to print off or design your own, along with bunting to festoon your festival pitch.
Why not use the handy two-day planner and check out the whole line-up. Filtering by category, means you won't miss any of those "must see and do" moments.
