Tanya About Town<br />
As we tentatively return to going out<br />
and about, more and more venues<br />
are doing their best to work around<br />
social distancing and maintain a<br />
safe environment for us to enjoy<br />
ourselves and support the City we<br />
know and love. It's not been easy for<br />
many businesses, especially local<br />
independents, so make sure you pay<br />
them a visit if you can.<br />
Although many restrictions are still in<br />
place and of course uncertainty over<br />
the feasibility of events taking place,<br />
I have put together my pick of what's<br />
on over <strong>Sept</strong>ember and <strong>Oct</strong>ober. I<br />
still would recommend checking the<br />
websites or ringing ahead to ensure<br />
an event is still taking place before<br />
making a journey.<br />
As we enter Autumn, one of the big<br />
events on the Nottingham calendar is<br />
the Goose Fair, although the intention<br />
is to go ahead, at the time of going to<br />
press no announcements have been<br />
made (30 <strong>Sept</strong> – 4 <strong>Oct</strong>). Organisers,<br />
we believe, have until six weeks<br />
before the event to confirm. This<br />
will be the same case for the Winter<br />
Wonderland later in the year.<br />
Other events scheduled for later this<br />
year that are still up in the air are the<br />
Nottingham Robin Hood Beer and<br />
Cider Festival. This has now been<br />
put back to November (proposed<br />
dates 18-21 November) with tickets<br />
hopefully going on sale in <strong>Oct</strong>ober.<br />
Again, always worth checking their<br />
website for the latest information<br />
www.beerfestival.nottinghamcamra.<br />
org<br />
Events at Papplewick Pumping<br />
Station were postponed but are<br />
returning with limited numbers.<br />
Admission is now by pre-purchased<br />
online ticket only via Eventbrite<br />
and the attraction's media pages.<br />
Steaming Days are due to take place<br />
Saturday 19 & Sunday 20 <strong>Sept</strong>ember<br />
(Vintage Weekend) and Saturday<br />
17 & Sunday 18 <strong>Oct</strong>ober (1940's<br />
Weekend).<br />
Many events are still taking place<br />
online too, one of these worth taking a<br />
look at is a virtual tour of Castle Road.<br />
Stroll in a small area of Nottingham<br />
to see a famous statue and some<br />
notable buildings... and all without<br />
leaving your house! The cost is £5<br />
and booking is essential - https://<br />

Head to National Justice Museum<br />
