Ben Rose on The Angel Microbrewery, Lockdown Recovery and Vegetarian Cooking

Christina Geggus caught up with him to find out more...

Hockley Hustle Presents Green Hustle: The Digital Festival Celebrating All Things Sustainability

A highlight in our calendar comes every October when, on the last weekend of the month, the streets of Hockley are taken over by musicians, poets, street performers, food vendors and punters for the annual Hockley Hustle festival. For obvious reasons, it won’t be returning for its fourteenth year, but that doesn’t mean Team HH are taking a (probably well-deserved) break. Thanks to funding from Arts Council England, they’ll be treating the people of Nottingham to a few different projects. The first of those is Green Hustle, a digital festival celebrating, promoting and exploring all things green in our city…

Nine years ago, a mysterious explosion plunged a city into a seemingly endless blackout. That is, until a Mark Zuckerburg-like tech billionaire rebuilt it into a futuristic metropolis – but to Journalism student Alex, this shady figure’s motivations don’t quite ring true.

OnlyFans: The Notts Creators Selling Nudes During Lockdown

It’s safe to say that it’s been a pretty manic year so far, and certainly not the vision of 2020 we had hoped for. But through the struggle, a lot of us have found creative ways to feel connected. And in this case, to bring in some extra money. With social media being used now more than ever, especially when each day seemed neverending, OnlyFans – the online platform on which creators can post explicit content for a monthly subscription fee - is one of the businesses that has thrived since the pandemic...
