The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend is also not far away, and patriots are given the chance to get in the mood by celebrating St George’s Day on Saturday.
Whether you plan to fly the red and white flag for England or the amber and blue flag for the Stags in their promotion push, the weekend offers lots of opportunities to get out and about.
Check out our weekly guide to places to go and things to do in the Mansfield and Ashfield area, and further afield across Nottinghamshire.
From adventure activities to flower-making, from gentle walks to fun trails, there’s something for everyone. And if you prefer Robin Hood to St George, you’re catered for too.
Please remember, before setting off, to visit the websites of the individual venues for opening times and admission prices.
Have a great weekend!
