A secret garden craft fair and music festival will kick the week off. Prime keep-the-kids-away-from-the-telly-box stuff, so pack ‘em in the car and head over to Sherwood URC from 11am. Over ninety shops are participating, so you can have a gander as you’re pottering. Catch the kiddos from Seely Primary School performing Shakespeare’s The Tempest, an evening of open mic poetry on the Tuesday at The Robin Hood on Mansfield Road, and pop over to the Place Activity Centre to have a goose at the works of artists including John Rankin, Janis Noble and Michael Tekel.
There’ll be workshops galore – doodling, mosaics, crocheting, poetry, pewter, felt craft, book folding, and more. Get booked in online – it’ll only set you back £3 a session. The Remarkable Recycling Gala will close the show on Sunday 26 June, and it ticks all the green boxes. Selling and displaying art of the repurposed variety – hoarders, this one’s for you. The whole thing is basically eight days arty wisdom for you to soak up like the creative sponges you are. Go forth and attend.
Saturday 18 - Sunday 26 June, various locations in and around Sherwood.
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?
