Live music, theatre, video games... and some woodland wellbeing to end the week. What more could you want?
Faulty Towers The Dining Experience
When: Tuesday 18 - Sunday 23 July
Where: Theatre Royal
How much: £63.50
Straight from London’s West End via the legendary Sydney Opera House, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience returns to The Theatre Royal. Officially the world’s most sought-after tribute to the BBC sitcom, Faulty Towers The Dining Experience has been described as ‘outrageously funny’ by BroadwayBaby, so don’t miss it.
De La Soul
When: Friday 21 July, 7pm
Where: Rock City
How much: £33.19
At the time of its 1989 release, De La Soul’s debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, was hailed as the future of hip-hop. With its colourful, neo-psychedelic collage of samples and styles, plus the Long Island trio’s low-key, clever rhymes and goofy humour, the record sounded like nothing else in the genre. Celebrate their thirty year anniversary at Rock City.
Splendour Festival
When: Saturday 22 - Sunday 23 July
Where: Wollaton Hall & Deer Park
How much: £102
Splendour Festival is Nottinghamshire’s biggest festival. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Wollaton Hall & Deer Park, attendees can enjoy five stages of music that spans all genres. Alongside the music, you can expect comedy, a funfair, a silent disco, independent market stalls, an array of gourmet food and drink, a dedicated kids’ area, and fringe activities. This year will be extra special because it is the festival’s fifteenth anniversary.
Nottingham Video Game Expo
When: Saturday 22 July, 11am
Where: The Belgrave Rooms
How much: £8.70
James and Alex, friends who met online during the pandemic, have been going to gaming events for years, and have since decided to give it a try themselves. Their formula for the Nottingham Video Games Expo is to put together all of their favourite parts of those previous events and wrap it all together in a very community focused event. The Nottingham Video Games Expo offers a day of action-packed gaming, activities, guest speakers and more.
Woodland Wellbeing
When: Sunday 23 July, 10am
Where: Barkers Wood
How much: £14
Woodland Wellbeing events are holistic nature-based in-person sessions to build self-confidence, mental wellbeing, and nature connectedness, through ecotherapy practice and ancient bushcraft techniques. Learn ancient survival skills, boost your mental and physical wellbeing and connect to nature. The session includes a forest bathing exercise, nature-based art therapy, fire lighting skill building, ecotherapy and bushcraft activities, and more!
We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
