A true hidden gem, Nottingham's Malt Cross 🍻

With its stunning arched glass roof, an original feature from the 1800s, the venue is flooded with natural light and character. Though times have changed for what was once a Victorian Music Hall, to this day Malt Cross is brimming with life, culture and heritage, providing live music, an array of events and a bite to eat – all with a hint of history.

Did someone say Goose Fair? 🎡

Kicking off this weekend, the fun fair that has been a fixture on Nottingham’s event calendar since 1284 ⁣⁣returns to Forest Recreation Ground from Friday 25 September – Sunday 4 October.

What once started with livestock trading and flocks of geese waddling through the city has turned into an iconic fair with more than 400 rides and attractions, making it one of the largest and oldest travelling funfairs in Europe.⁣⁣

Whether you're keen to make the rounds on the highest of rides or prefer to keep your feet firmly on the ground and tuck into traditional fairground treats or delicious Nottingham delicacies, Goose Fair is not to be missed!
