Things to do in Nottingham this week including: LEGO chaos, Easter egg hunts & Sean Paul live in the flesh

In partnership with

Happy Monday Nottingham! 🐣 It’s the second week of the Easter holidays, the kids are still off, and your snack cupboard’s probably been ransacked by 10am. But don’t worry, we’ve got your escape plan.

From LEGO brick battles and biscuit-fuelled craft sessions to Gabrielle belting out 90s bangers and Sean Paul heating up the Arena, there’s no shortage of action. Fancy a family-friendly egg hunt or a slightly less friendly salsa night? You’re covered. Plants, parties, paintbrushes, and a sprinkle of conspiracy theory comedy, it’s all on the menu. Clear your schedule. This week’s got legs.

🗓️ WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

🪴 – Grow Your Own Festival – Dirt, Plants & Enough Compost to Bury Your Regrets
📍 - Woodthorpe Park Plant Nursery
📅 - 18th - 21st April
⏰ - 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
📷 - woodthorpe_park_plant_shop

Ready to swap your limp supermarket herbs for something you didn’t kill in a week? This one’s for you. Woodthorpe Park’s chucking on a four-day plant-fuelled frenzy—veg, herbs, seeds, compost, pots, plant food, and more green stuff than a vegan’s shopping list.

Free entry, free seed trays, free smugness when your tomatoes sprout. They’ve even got kids' activities, gardening workshops, and cake. You bring the enthusiasm—they’ll supply the tools.

Bonus: dogs allowed. Downside: you’ll probably leave with twelve plants and absolutely no plan.
