Can’t get anyone to look after the kids? Fret not, there’s a dedicated kid’s section to top it all off. Cop ya sen a ticket, jump on a bus from city centre, and be sure to enjoy the variety of shows on offer.

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?
