Following last year's popular Arboretum Garden Bar and Bandstand events, the Arboretum Sunsets concert series will take place back at the pop-up venue this summer.

The first events announced include concerts from music heroes Tony Hadley and Richard Thompson, an all-day folk event hosted by singer-songwriter Beans On Toast, the Arboretum Beer Festival, street food festivals from Nottingham Diners Club, and regular Sunday yoga & wellness sessions presented by Sweaty Betty.
