Mountain tours, mini-figure battles and magazine-making are all on the agenda this week...
Derren Brown: Showman
When: Tuesday 14 June to Saturday 18 June
Where: Theatre Royal
How much: £36 to £49.50
Want to see a magic trick? We’ve heard Derren Brown has a couple up his sleeve. In fact, his shows are so impressive that they’ve received more Olivier wins and nominations than any other in history. Not bad. This is his first in-person event in six years - so see what all the fuss is about while you can.
Kendal Mountain Tour
When: Wednesday 15 June, 7.30pm
Where: Broadway Cinema
How much: £18
Want some adventure without the risk of death? The team behind Kendal Mountain Festival have got you covered - offering a tour of the planet’s most exciting places from the comfort of Broadway. The night will also be hosted by guest speaker Elise Downing, who decided to run around the coastline of Britain - you know, as you do.
Zine Club
When: Wednesday 15 June, 7pm
Where: The Carousel
How much: £3
Magazines are great, in our humble opinion, and now you can have a go at creating your own. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll be able to put together your own mini-mag - or zine, if you will - the old-fashioned way, with some cutting, sticking and stapling. Proper escapism, that.
Nottingham Craft Beer Festival
When: Friday 17 June to Saturday 18 June
Where: Sneinton Market Avenues
How Much: £12
Well-loved by the local beer community, Nottingham Craft Beer Festival is returning to Sneinton Market Avenues this June. Boasting prestigious brewery names including Northern Monk, Brew York and North Brewing Co, the festival is an ideal spot to try all the weird and wonderful beers you’ve always fancied, alongside your long-running favourites.

Warhammer Underworlds: Mini Clash
When: Saturday 18 June, 8.30am
Where: Warhammer World, Lenton
How much: £30
Coming Superman-approved, Warhammer World is easily one of Nottingham’s proudest gems, acting as a slice of heaven for nerds from the city and beyond. And now you can spend an entire day there, taking part in their Warhammer Underworlds Mini Clash this Saturday. So, bring your warband and get ready to battle your way to victory.
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?
