Welcome to the Things to do in Nottinghamshire Blog
20th May 2011
Our Congratulations go to Cotgrave Colts Under 13s Football Team, who won the Division 1 Championship this year. We are especially pleased, because Things to do was an official sponsor - so well done lads!!

I've just realised that it's been over a month since I last updated this blog, which is shameful!
We've been busy, busy updating the site with events for the next Bank Holiday at the end of May and the half-term week that follows it, so if you're looking for something to do, then this is the place to be. If you like tennis, there's a whole tournament of free matches happening between 28th May and 12th June at the Nottingham Tennis Centre with the Nottingham Festival of Tennis.
Have you tried our interactive map on the front of the website? This is a quick and easy way to find out what's happening in a specific location in Nottinghamshire and you can even narrow it down to show the things that you are interested in. Please give it a try and let us know how you get on.
Hello to anyone we met at last Saturday's West Bridgford Summer Gathering. Despite the windy conditions, we had a great day and met some lovely people. We will hopefully be doing more of these events over the coming months and will keep you posted.
Finally - congratulations to Nancy from Daventry, who was the winner of our competition to win tickets to see Duran Duran at the Capital FM Arena, plus overnight accommodation at the Park Inn by Radisson, Nottingham. We hope that you have a fantastic visit to Nottingham.

The week is turning out to be a busy one ... our Things to do discount cards have sold out at White Post Farm again - did you know that, if you buy a card at their reception, the cardholder gets free entry into the Farm that day and then 20% discount every time you visit thereafter? This means that you will save £8.95 on your first visit ... not bad for a card that only costs £10 and can be used at dozens of other exciting places across Notts!
We have also launched 2 new competitions today, where you can win tickets PLUS an overnight stay in our Enrique Iglesias competition AND 2 tickets to An Evening with the Legendary John Cleese at the Theatre Royal. As usual, all of our competitions are free to enter and you won't get bombarded with spam in the future - so what have you got to lose?

We've been lucky enough to have been invited to a couple of interesting events lately. Piccolino, Nottingham asked us to be guinea pigs for their first Pasta Master Class last Thursday, where we were taught how to make fresh pasta from scratch, whilst enjoying a glass of Prosecco or two. Luckily I had some great team-mates, so was able supervise while they cooked up some tasty creations ... would highly recommend this for a group evening out with a difference - watch out for more information on this website soon.
NBV networking event at Notts County FC last night, which actually turned out to be useful and quite entertaining. Unfortunately, the football afterwards was a little bit frustrating, with County losing 2-1 to Rochdale but we made some good contacts and there was a nice buffet. Off to the launch of the newly refurbished Normanton Bar at the Clumber Park Hotel and Spa on Thursday ... it's not a bad job!

A TV company has been in touch to see if we know of anyone who would like to appear on Peter Andre's new show on ITV2 called Peter Andre is here to help you ...
What would you do if you if you had Peter Andre and his team to help you for the weekend? Do you have a mission you need help accomplishing? Maybe you want to surprise a loved one? Perhaps you are still looking for love? Or you want help with a special occasion that you are working up to but need help pulling off? Do you have a secret that you want to reveal and you need help with that. Or do you want to nominate a person that could do with Pete’s help?
If you're interested, please email info@thingstodoguide.co.uk and we'll put you in touch with them.

Had a lovely walk around Highfields Park today with the dog and youngest child. It looks like the gardeners have been doing a lot of work over the winter - I've never seen the place look better. By far and away the most interesting feature today was the sight of a huge pig on a lead, which was being taken out for it's Saturday afternoon walk. My daughter thought all her Peppa Pig Christmas's had come at once.

Hooray! A big Friday welcome to our latest partner, La Capanna Restaurant on Mansfield Road in Sherwood. Offering a wide range of traditional Italian dishes, in a friendly atmosphere, La Capanna has been bringing a little bit of Italy to Sherwood for the past 30 years. What's more ...

If you haven't got a card yet ... why not????!
