Things to do in Nottingham this week including: A Park Full of Inflatables, DJs at Wollaton and Country Hats at Binks Yard

Morning Nottingham! This week has it all. Mega Bounce Play Park is turning West Park into an inflatable paradise, Wollaton Hall is about to shake with the Haçienda Open Air, and Binks Yard is going full cowboy with the a outdoor country festival. Add in psychic readings, boozy bingo, markets, theatre, and even a mushroom hunt, and you’ve got a week that is basically one long story to tell at work on Monday.

🗓️ WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

🎈 - Mega Bounce Play Park – Inflatable Madness Without the Time Limit
📍 - West Park, Long Eaton
📅 - Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th September
⏰ - 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
🎟️ - Kids £10 | Adults £2 | Pay on the day (cash preferred)

A whole park is getting turned into an inflatable wonderland. Giant slides, assault courses, wrecking balls, bungee runs, gladiator duels, and even a Hungry Hippos game where your kid is the hippo. There’s a safe zone for the under-6s too, so the toddlers don’t get flattened by the older lot.

One wristband gets you unlimited bouncing all day, so the only limit is how long their legs (or yours) can last. Adults can hop on some inflatables too, though most will be strategically “supervising” near the ice cream van.

Bring cash, bring energy, and enjoy the rare silence on the car ride home when they finally crash out.

🍔 SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP

🍱 - Nōshi – Pan-Asian Plates, Wagyu on Salt Blocks & Cocktails Under Cherry Blossoms
📍 - Trinity Square
📅 - Opening October (bookings live September)

Nōshi is dropping £4 million worth of glam into Trinity Square, complete with liquid-gold finishes, black marble, and a suspended cherry blossom ceiling that’s basically begging for Instagram stories.

The menu? Bold, shiny and a little bit outrageous. We’re talking wagyu beef sizzling on Himalayan salt blocks, sweet sticky chicken, golden tempura lobster, and cocktails with names like Forbidden Cherry and Dragon’s Bloom. The kind of drinks you order just to watch someone else’s jaw drop.

There’ll be live DJs at weekends and 120 seats that are going to be hard to snag once word spreads. Bookings go live in September and this one is going to fly.

🎭 ACTIVITY ALLEY

🎧 - Haçienda Open Air at Wollaton Hall
📍 - Wollaton Hall & Deer Park
📅 - Saturday 6th September
⏰ - 12:00 PM
🎟️ - Ticketed Entry
📷 - @fac51_thehacienda

The iconic Haçienda is rolling into Wollaton with a line-up that’ll shake the deer right out of the park. Armand Van Helden, Groove Armada, Inner City, K-Klass, Alison Limerick and more are turning one of Nottingham’s most historic backdrops into a giant outdoor dancefloor.

House classics, legendary DJs, and the surreal joy of raving next to a stately home make this one to grab tickets for before they disappear.

🎭 FRESH EXPERIENCES

🎸 - Country Club: Nottingham’s First Outdoor Country Festival
📍 - Binks Yard
📅 - Saturday 6th September
⏰ - 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM (last entry 8:00 PM)
🎟️ - Final tickets from £25 | VIP nearly gone
📷 - @binksyard

Cowboys, cowgirls and anyone who’s ever belted “Jolene” after a few pints — this one’s for you. Nottingham’s first ever outdoor country party is saddling up with line dancing, a rodeo bull, cowboy hat giveaways and a playlist that jumps from Dolly and Johnny Cash to Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and even Taylor Swift.

It’s the wild west, but with red solo cups, a city-centre view and no horse muck to dodge. Tickets are already on their final release, so if you want in on the hoedown, grab yours before you’re left crying into your stetson.
