Tanya About Town<br />
Spring is finally in the<br />
air, and with it comes<br />
a whole host of<br />
things to do around<br />
our wonderful county.<br />
Read on for my pick<br />
of what’s on in and<br />
around Notts over<br />
<strong>March</strong> and <strong>April</strong>.<br />
One of the first signs of spring is<br />
when the bulbs come up. Holme<br />
Pierrepont is renowned for its<br />
glorious displays of snowdrops,<br />
and the last couple of weeks in<br />
February is the best time to see<br />
this amazing display, although<br />
the beautiful garden is open to<br />
the public daily until the end of<br />
<strong>April</strong> (except Saturdays). It costs<br />
£5 for adults (children are free).<br />
Holme Pierrepont Hall – 0115<br />

If you fancy something a little<br />
more adventurous outdoors,<br />
Thoresby Courtyard offers a<br />
Segway course that will see you<br />
take to the twists and turns of<br />
this woodland location (12-13<br />
<strong>March</strong>/ 9-12 <strong>April</strong>)<br />

Enjoy a fascinating day out at<br />
Britain’s finest Victorian water<br />
works by visiting a Steaming<br />
Day at Papplewick Pumping<br />
Station (17-18 <strong>April</strong>) or you<br />
could combine history with a spot<br />
of Ghost Hunting when Haunted<br />
Heritage visit Newstead Abbey<br />
(5 <strong>March</strong>) and Wollaton Hall (19<br />
<strong>March</strong>). Are you brave enough<br />
to join the team for a paranormal<br />
investigation ? Or perhaps you<br />
fancy a psychic reading, if so<br />

evening for you at Newstead<br />
Abbey (18 <strong>March</strong>). Go along<br />
and meet psychics and mediums<br />
providing short taster readings.<br />
