Forest vs. Derby: The European Championships Edition
Thu 10 Jun 2021With the delayed European Championships just around the corner, we’ve decided to answer the question that literally nobody was asking: who would win in a match between Forest and Derby if you only selected players that had been to the Euros?

The Nottingham Project's Greg Nugent: "We’re a creative city where culture thrives, but when other cities were upping their game, we stood still"
Fri 14 Aug 2020With a ten-year vision of turning Nottingham into a globally-recognised cultural heavyweight, and a board including the likes of Shane Meadows and Vicky McClure, last month saw the ambitious launch of The Nottingham Project. Spearheaded by the new Nottingham Board for Culture and Creativity, the project will seek to rejuvenate the city in the wake of a pandemic that has decimated much of the creative industry. As the director of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee, Project chairman Greg Nugent knows what it takes to deliver on the biggest scale. We caught up with the man at the helm to find out more about what the city’s creative community has to look forward to...

There's a Pigeon Sanctuary That Saves Sick Birds Near Notts
Thu 22 Aug 2019Ah, the common pigeon. We all see them around town, eating our scraps, pooping on our heads, chasing those of us with a more nervous disposition. But how much do we really know about them? People often treat them like pests - sky vermin sent to make our lives dirtier and more full of poo - but they’re so much more than that. Never has a bird been quite so misunderstood. However, one Nottingham organisation has seen the beauty in these much-maligned creatures and is trying to make the world a better place, one rescued pigeon at a time. We headed over to the Derby and Nottingham Pigeon and Farm Bird Rescue to see what they’re all about...
