If you are planning on celebrating Father's Day this weekend, we've got some great ideas to surprise Dad. From Top Gun to tree trails and dinosaurs to dining out, there's something for every Dad.
Plus, a jam-packed week of entertainment and events across the city.
Thurs 26 August to Sun 29 August 2021
Wollaton Hall and Deer Park
Ahead of the new Top Gun sequel, an essential night our for Dad's that feel the need for speed.
Grab your leather jacket and get back to the 80's with Tom Cruise as top pilot Maverick, never one to follow the rules and always ready to take chances.Â
Maybe Dad is more of a Sci-Fi buff? How about where it all began? with the iconic sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars: A New Hope. Can Luke and Han Solo free Princess Leia, the leader of the Rebel Alliance as she is held hostage by Darth Vader, and destroy the powerful weapon created by the Galactic Empire?
Throw in great food, a full bar, both with click and collect service, and of course giant screens with incredible state of the art sound, and you have yourself your perfect summer’s evening out.  Â
All tickets must be booked in advance and due to social distancing capacities are limited, so book your place early to avoid missing out!
