It's music, more music and, um, some cheese on offer in our city this week...
Let the Sunset
When: Monday 21 November, 6.30pm
Where: The Loft
How much: Free
Nottingham’s newest student-led event is all about music (and more) with a purpose.

"Theatre of Borsch" - Charity Gala Six Course Dinner
When: Tues 22 November, 7pm
Where: Strelley Hall
How much: £75
Fancy some high end Ukrainian snap? Fancy donating a bit of cash to a good cause? This charity dinner sees famous Ukrainian chef, Yevhen Klopotenko, who won Ukraine’s MasterChef in 2015, visiting Notts to cook up a 6-course storm. There’s live music from a Ukrainian folk ensemble and a charity auction too. As you might expect all the money raised goes to humanitarian aid charities working in Ukraine.
Let's Beer - Beer and Cheese Tasting
When: Thursday 24 November, 7pm
Where: Cock & Hoop

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?
