Things to do this week: Mum2Mum Market, A New Pizza Spot, A Comedy Night and a Puppy Therapy Event!
Morning! Valentine’s week has arrived, so the diary is doing that thing where it looks calm all day, then suddenly everything happens at once. This one is simple: save money at Mum2Mum, laugh your head off on Friday, eat something from the new pizza spot, then go cuddle Labradors like it’s a medical requirement.

WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?
👶 - Mum2Mum Market Wollaton: Want Baby Stuff For “They’ll Grow Out Of It By Tuesday” Prices?
📍- St Leonard’s Community Centre
📅 - Sat 14th Feb
⏰ - 10:00 AM
🎟️ - £2 adults, kids free (cash only)

🌐 - mum2mummarket.co.uk
Mums sell to mums, which means the prices stay grounded and the bargains get silly. Clothes from baby up to age 6, toys big and small, plus the bulky kit like walkers and bouncers, all in good nick and ready to take home there and then. Best part: you can actually check the stuff before you buy, haggle if you fancy it, and leave without waiting for a parcel to turn up looking nothing like the photo. Homemade cakes too.

SCRUMPTIOUS SCOOP
🍕- New In Town: Albertina’s Pizzeria
📍 - St Mary’s Hall, Gothic House
📅 - Tue to Thu 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM
📅 - Fri & Sat 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM
📅 - Sun 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM (Mon closed)
📷 - @albertinaspizzeria
Albertina’s has only just opened and it already feels like an easy default for breakfast, dinner, or a quick “we’ll share” plan that escalates fast. Walk ins are welcome, the place looks smart, and the menu covers classics plus signatures that give you a reason to return.
Start with garlic dough knots, halloumi fries, or jerk chicken wings, then go signature with Nonna’s Jerk Chicken or Mushroom and Truffle. Nduja hot honey is a safe bet if you want a bit of heat, and the full English breakfast pizza is pure main character behaviour. Finish with tiramisu or gelato and call it “research”.
ACTIVITY ALLEY
😂 - Arnold Comedy Night: Want Stand Up Without The Big Venue Price Tag?
📍 - Bonington Theatre
📅 - Fri 13th Feb
⏰ - 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM (doors 7:00 PM)
🎟️ - £15 (nearly sold out)
📷 - @promotecomedy @thebonington
Four acts, mixed styles, and the classic setup: a proper theatre, a tight little crowd, and a host keeping it moving. Great shout for a date night or a group plan, because you can sit there doing nothing and still go home feeling like you’ve had a social life. Free parking after 6PM, wheelchair access available.

Valentine’s weekend, but you’re swapping awkward small talk for a room full of Labrador puppies.
