But if you can take your minds off Cloughie’s boys for a minute, or maybe you’re even immune to football, then we’ve packaged our usual guide to things to do and places to go in and around the Mansfield area and beyond.
You get the chance to meet a host of characters and stars – from the Gruffalo and Robin Hood to Blondie and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
And you get the chance to tackle activities that range from cycling around Nottinghamshire’s coalfields to dog-walking and marvelling at windmills.
Before you set off, don’t forget to visit the individual websites of your chosen venue to check opening times and admission prices.
Have a great weekend! And up the Stags!
