But before we jet away abroad or get away to the coast, let’s concentrate on matters at home.
For the Mansfield, Ashfield and Nottinghamshire area continues to be bursting with events and activities.
As usual, we’ve come up with ten ideas for places to go and things to do this weekend.
You could celebrate our armed forces, take in a bit of outdoor theatre or even dance the night away at a woodland disco festival!
There’s an international market on our doorstep, while the likes of Rufford Abbey Country Park and Go Ape at Sherwood Pines are always ideal family spots to visit at this time of year.
Before you set off, please check the websites of the individual venues for opening times and admission prices.
Have a great weekend!
