Things to do in Nottingham this week including the Beltane Pagan Market on Saturday!

Happy Monday Nottingham! ☀️ The Easter break is over, the kids are finally back at school this week, and you can hear yourself think again. Just about. But before you start Googling “cheap getaways for one,” let’s talk about the week ahead.

We’ve got candlelit tributes to Adele, embroidery classes that won’t end in tangled rage, and a Beltane Market so full of incense and handmade wizardry it might open a portal. Fancy wine tastings, Cuban cigars, Buddhist meditation, or just watching Torvill and Dean twirl into retirement? It’s all going down.

Sling off the slippers, grab your diary, and get back into the swing of it, Nottingham’s not slowing down just because the chocolate’s run out.

🗓️ WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEEK?

🧙 – Beltane Pagan Market – Crystals, Cauldrons & Crafty Chaos in Sneinton
📍 - Sneinton Market Avenues
📅 - Saturday 26th April
⏰ - 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Sneinton’s getting weird this weekend—and we’re here for it. The Beltane Pagan Market is back with more handmade spell jars, forest goblets, and mystical merch than your TikTok feed can handle. We’re talking witches, druids, artists, blacksmiths, crystal floggers, and enough incense to hotbox the entire NG1.

There’s live tunes from Cadence Noir, a visit from the Nottingham Shakespeare lot (because of course), and food so magical it might summon a second stomach. Mead? Tick. Pancakes? Double tick. Gluten-free sorcery? You bet.

It’s free, it’s chaotic, and it’s got enough handcrafted gear to make Etsy look like Poundland. You don’t have to be into witchy stuff to go—but don’t be surprised if you leave with a moon pendant and a sudden interest in herbal tea.
