So, with December also upon us, now is the season to be jolly. To try and forget all our troubles and to get out and enjoy ourselves.
The lights and decorations of Mansfield, Sutton and Kirkby are shining bright. And two more areas of the Chad district, Mansfield Woodhouse and Garibaldi, switch on their lights this week.
Mansfield’s Christmas market is also in full swing, so let’s have a look around to see what else is taking place this weekend.
Our guide to things to do and places to go unearths festive fun at places such as the White Post Farm in Farnsfield, Mansfield Museum, Rufford Abbey Country Park, Sherwood Forest, Creswell Crags, the Tropical Butterfly House in North Anston and The Harley Gallery at Welbeck.
You can meet Santa and even have breakfast with him, make Christmas jumpers, hunt for festive bargains, create your own Christmas wreath and even enjoy a spot of horse-riding in the dark! Ho, ho, ho, as someone once said.
Before you set off, please check the individual websites of your chosen venues for opening times and admission prices.
Have a great weekend!
