Nottingham Forest Fan Rich Fisher Releases a Documentary About a Once in a Lifetime Road Trip

Wed 19 May 2021

Way back in 2008, Rich Fisher headed to Mongolia with his friend Ed on a road trip. In the back of his mind, he always had the intention of making the journey into a film, but life got in the way. That was until the world came to a grinding halt, allowing Rich the time to finally create Rich and Ed’s Excellent Adventure – the story of two Forest fans on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure to the other side of the world.

Sat 15 May 2021

It was only when the world came to a crashing halt and gig venues, clubs and record shops were forced to shut their doors, that people realised just how important music is in bringing us all together.

Part-online gig, part community and part virtual venue, it entertained over 80,000 listeners during the last twelve months, raising huge amounts for charity in the process. Addie Kenogbon talked to creator and Notts DJ Alex Traska and DJ and events organiser Jakki Denton to find out just how this Nottingham subculture became a beacon for mental health awareness, hope and togetherness...

Summer in the City: Three Nottingham BID Members on The Re-Opened City Centre

Thu 13 May 2021

It’s been a long time coming, but it feels like life is finally being breathed back into Nottingham. The city centre no longer resembles the ghost town it has done for the majority of the past year; in its place, pavements are covered with Parisian-style seating, filled with friends laughing and catching up over long-overdue drinks. And with the next deadline of May 17, in which dozens more venues like cinemas, arcades and bowling alleys will open, just around the corner, it’s a time to be cautiously optimistic that the city is finally returning to normal. To celebrate the city’s next steps to opening up, we spoke to some of the Nottingham Business Improvement District locations to find out how the process of reopening has gone, and to find out which places they’re most excited to visit...

Leap of Faith: Nottingham Residents Who Have Left Their Religion Behind

Fri 23 Apr 2021

Between 2011 and 2019, the number of British people who identified as being non-religious increased by a staggering 46%. To put that in context, that made them the fasting growing group in the country and, with the new census currently being undertaken, that number is expected to grow further. While being an atheist isn’t quite the taboo it once was in an increasingly secular country, for some people, turning away from god can pose huge mental, physical and spiritual challenges. We talked to Notts residents Tony Challis, the President of Nottingham Secular Society, and Amir X (whose real name has been retracted at his request), a former Muslim, to find out how difficult it was to leave religion behind…
