To help you decide what to do and where to go, we’ve come up with this list of ten events and activities happening in the Mansfield, Ashfield and wider Nottinghamshire area over the next few days.
The kids are catered for, with Halloween fun lined up at places such as Mansfield Museum, Rufford Abbey, The Harley Gallery in Welbeck and the Workhouse Museum at Southwell.
But the grown-ups have plenty to look forward to also. There’s an artisan market at Thoresby Park, outdoor cinema at Newstead Abbey and a host of musical tribute shows at Mansfield’s Palace Theatre, shining the spotlight on legends such as the Rolling Stones, Buddy Holly and Meat Loaf.
Before you set off, please visit your venue’s website for admission prices and opening or starting times.
Have a great weekend!

9. Outdoor cinema at the abbey
The UK's largest touring outdoor flicks service, Adventure Cinema, is back at Newstead Abbey next week with a brace of spooky classics for Halloween. On Tuesday, the historic venue screens 'Lost Boys', a supernatural, dark comedy horror, and the following evening, sit back and enjoy 'Hocus Pocus', which tells the story of a trio of witches who are inadvertently resurrected by a teenage boy.

10. Tuck into the Meat Loaf story
Meat Loaf's greatest hits, including 'Bat Out Of Hell' and 'Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth', are sure to set Mansfield's Palace Theatre alight on Saturday night when Steve Steinman Productions present a show, 'Anything For Love -- The Meat Loaf Story', charting the career of the rock giant, now 75. The show features special guest star Lorraine Crosby, the female lead vocalist on some of the award-winning hits. Photo: Submitted
