So we have drawn up a special guide to things to do and places to go over the next few days, not just in Mansfield and Ashfield but also across the wider Nottinghamshire area.
Halloween is top of the bill at many of the district’s leading venues, most notably Mansfield Museum, Clumber Park, Rufford Abbey, Creswell Crags, White Post Farm and Newstead Abbey.
But the weekend also marks one of the most celebrated events of the year in Southwell, the Bramley Apple Festival. And Mansfield’s Palace Theatre has an action-packed few days coming up with tribute shows to superstars such as Abba, Queen and Simon and Garfunkel, plus a return to the disco world of the 1970s.
And dare we mention it, Christmas is also on the horizon. This weekend sees the launch of Mansfield District Council’s super Secret Santa Appeal, which runs until the end of November.
Please check the individual websites of each venue for admission prices and opening times.
Have a great Halloween weekend!
