Nottingham Castle announces four days of Easter fun

Castle easter activities

There?s lots going on in our city over the Easter period and I?m pleased to see the fun events that are planned for Nottingham Castle. From 15 ? 18 April, there will be a four-day programme, jam-packed with activities for families and visitors of all ages during the bank holiday weekend.

The ?Easter Weekender? will feature a trail of bespoke eggs hidden throughout the Castle grounds. Explorers will need to collect a letter from each egg to claim a chocolate treat from the Castle Visitor Centre. Circus entertainers, a bubble-ologist and stilt walkers, will roam the grounds with live music in the historic bandstand throughout the day. There?ll also be daily circus workshops and a glitter face-painter.

We must continue to live with Covid-19 in our city

Living with covid

Covid rates are continuing to increase nationally while here in Nottingham about one in every 16 people is thought to have the virus currently, which shows we can?t afford to be complacent.?

The vaccine has meant that, for most, infection is less likely to lead to serious illness.?For a lot of people, however, Covid still makes them feel really poorly and symptoms can last for a few weeks. It is still making some seriously ill and, sadly, claiming lives.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as Covid, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, please try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

There are simple things you can do in your daily life that will help reduce the spread of Covid and other respiratory infections to protect those at highest risk. Things you can choose to do are:


* Get vaccinated.
* Let fresh air in if meeting others indoors.
* Practise good hygiene:
* wash your hands
* cover your coughs and sneezes
* clean your surroundings frequently

* Wear a face covering or a face mask.

New support for local businesses

Nottingham Skyline

The D2N2 [ [link removed] ] partnership, which facilitates collaboration between Nottingham City, Nottinghamshire, Derby City and Derbyshire councils, has secured ?10.5m of UK Community Renewal Fund monies. This fund aims to encourage innovative schemes to help kickstart the local economy by investing in skills, helping people into employment, supporting local businesses to grow and develop, and helping local communities become more resilient and sustainable.

*Communities and Place: *A University of Nottingham?project will continue to help Nottingham City Council identify strategies to meet its ambitious carbon targets within the housing sector.

It?s great to see these projects come together and more information will follow as they launch.
