Thurs 26 August – Sun 5 Sept
Victoria Embankment
Introducing Nottingham's newest summer festival!
Nonsuch Studios is heading Trentside from Hockley for a late-summer staycation festival of comedy, cabaret, theatre, performance, poetry and much, much more in the amazing setting of the Victoria Embankment Bandstand.
With shows for all ages and a mix of free and ticketed events, this is set to be an incredible end to the summer.
Enjoy a burlesque, cabaret-style night out courtesy of the hugely popular Gilded Merkin, or perhaps something tiny bit different with the Frisky and Mannish Pop Lab which is described in part as 'oldfangled-newfashioned'?
Music lovers will love the modern take on tradition from the Hackney Colliery Band or can relax over some great tunes, food and drink at the Jamcafé Bandstand Takeover.
All the family will enjoy the Three Inch Fools' romp through the Adventures of Robin Hood, or there's a comedy club just for kids, as well as Shlomo's Beatbox Adventure.
More shows to be announced.
