7 Obscure Sports Teams in Nottingham

Mon 13 Mar 2017

Nottingham is a proper sporting city. Nottingham Forest Football Club have won the European Cup twice and Notts County are the oldest football league club in the world – although, not for much longer if they keep flirting with relegation. Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club have won the County Championship six times and their home, Trent Bridge, is a world famous international cricket venue. Meanwhile, the Nottingham Panthers are one of the most successful ice hockey teams in the country, recently becoming the first British team to win a European trophy. But there are also some lesser-known sports teams in the city that deserve celebrating...

Out in the sticks there's a lovely little place where you can pick a few items, take them into a room, and smash the absolute shit out of them with your choice of crowbar, baseball bat, hammer... you name it.

The Herbert Kilpin's Hop Pop Up: A Marriage of Food and Beer

Fri 10 Mar 2017

It seems a few folks - including myself - misunderstood the game here… It’s not about matching the right beer to your food, it's having the beer added to your food while it's being prepared. Bloody genius.

7 Organisations Combatting Misogyny in Nottingham

Wed 08 Mar 2017

Nottinghamshire Police are the first police force in the country to rule misogyny as a hate crime. That includes physical or verbal harassment directed at women, because they are a woman, via any means. So, if you’re walking home and a group of guys decide to shout inappropriate, sexual comments at you, or someone grabs your arse on a night out, you’re well within your rights to report the behaviour to the authorities.

All you have to do is ring 101, and if the assault is particularly severe, call 999. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the perpetrator will be punished, but it does mean the police can collect information regarding these types of incidents – where, when and how often they happen – and work on making the streets of Notts safer for all. It also means that they can direct you to any support and guidance you may need following the event. There are some incredible local organisations who’ll go out of their way to help you...

Supporting The Sex Worker Community with POW Nottingham

Wed 08 Mar 2017

Prostitution. What connotations does that word throw up for you? The media have helped develop various collective viewpoints about sex workers, and it ain’t all pretty. Real as they come, POW Nottingham is just one organisation aiming to maintain dignity and safety for people working in the industry, through both creative projects and practical schemes. With International Women’s Day coming up on Wednesday 8 March, we got down to POW’s premises to talk to CEO Daniela Scotece…

In Focus: Babe Punch

Wed 08 Mar 2017

Like a smack in the teeth followed by a kiss on the cheek, alt-rocking Babe Punch are a bunch of young women (and a couple of young lads) one doesn’t want to mess with. With all the tenacity of a pack of wolves and oozing enough cool to bring Take That back into the realm of acceptable, we couldn’t think of a better bunch of bandmates to send us their snaps in honour of International Women’s Day…

Wed 08 Mar 2017

BalletBoyz' Michael Nunn on Life at Nottingham Playhouse

Sat 04 Mar 2017

Life. Something every person can relate to, and an ingenious concept for a ballet production. Who could be more up to the challenge than the inimitable BalletBoyz; a dance company, comprised entirely of male dancers, that’s been breaking boundaries and shattering preconceptions since it was founded in the early noughties. We had a chat with co-founder, Michael Nunn, ahead of their European tour…
