Our resident crystal gazer has studied the stars to figure out your fortunes, Nottingham. You’re welcome…
Beeston
Town of the bees, smile with glee. The once humble abode within which you reside shall continue to soar in value, and you may soon find yourself sleeping within the boundaries of an undisputed treasure trove. The envy of the east you will remain, a kingdom adorned with silver screens, fresh coffee beans and a touch of the marine.
Clifton
Trouble town, your troubles will soon be no more. Your globe-trotting icon shall return to these pastures in due course. Prepare for his arrival and witness his homecoming, sporting a container of golden delight in the grounds of the great Arena. Rejoice and reflect as he holds two fingers up to yesterday, and his classic country tunes roar out across the region.
Forest Fields
Though full of tall trees no more, the Forest Fields are still lush with thriving streets. But now the goose has gone and the field lays empty, use this next month as one to rest and recharge. Take sustenance from the many small things and refill your cup after it has been emptied - alongside filling your stomach with all that Berridge Road provides aplenty.
Lenton
The place students land and life is grand. Lenton, you are the home of the old structures and new beginnings. Constantly changing and shifting, the influx of new potential here is overfloweth. But among the excitement, beware that movement is often followed by tension. Act kindly to those who call you neighbour to see the best of their behaviour…
Sherwood
Where the artists live, the world will give. This creative ward can look forward to many a new prospect. The streets will vibrate with energy and cheer, while the pockets are lined of all who live near. Encourage this good fortune by keeping your nose to the grindstone of creation, enjoying the fruits of your labour and following your inner maker.
Sneinton
This is a day of fresh beginnings for you, Sneinton. New leaders, new makers, new neighbours have taken residence in your Avenues. Start the new cycle by indulging yourself with the fine feasts, draping yourself in the fine garments, and warming your cockles with the fine liquids of the land.
St Ann's
Where the city lays close and the people stand strong, St Ann’s you are where people come to belong. This month turn to your namesake’s healing well, and remember the water that enlivens nature's swell. In your future, growth will be, in the earth, in the people and in all the community.
West Bridgford
The posh part of the city, brace yourself for sustained noise and rabble - as every other Saturday afternoon, you will continue to be flooded with a sea of red and overpowered by the distinct rumble of Depeche Mode. But exercise patience, for the Tricky Trees will likely be relegated by the Summer, and those recently-risen superfans will disappear back into the abyss…
Wollaton
Wollaton, where history lays down its hat. Prepare yourself for what the future may hold. You must balance the line between the old and new, while remaining to your traditions true. Home of the deer, lakes and trees so many, you have been chosen as the guardians of the land - an honour not given to just any.
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?
