So hopefully, the Chad’s guide to things to and places to go can at least brighten up your weekend. There are events and activities lined up across Mansfield, Ashfield and the wider Nottinghamshire area that you can get stuck into to lift your spirits.
Appropriately, one of the main ones is designed to boost the way you feel because the Mansfield Spiritual and Wellbeing Show takes place on Saturday and Sunday at the Civic Centre. Talks, demonstrations and exhibitors focus on the mind, body and spirit, and there are even readings by psychics and mediums.
If music is the spice of life, then Mansfield’s Palace Theatre is also the place to be, with a live concert by 1980s’ chart-toppers Odyssey (remember them?) and shows highlighting Whitney Houston and Motown legends.
The kids might be back at school, but there is still lots going on for them to enjoy, including a circus, musical adventures and an activity trail.
Add to that a photography exhibition, an art exhibition, Ashfield's Big Spring Clean and the chance to explore your family tree, and it’s clear there’s no excuse for moping about!
Please check the websites of your chosen venues for admission prices and opening times. Have a great weekend!
