Things to do this week: Craft and Flea Market, All-Day R&B Festival and a Bank Holiday Family Fest!

Morning! A curated makers market in the Lace Market on Saturday, an all-day 90s R&B festival at Wollaton Park the same day, and a family fest at Binks Yard on Bank Holiday Monday. A full weekend and a Bank Holiday Monday to match.

Also this week, a terrarium workshop on Thursday with only four spots left, a tiramisu cafe in Beeston that has been causing queues since it opened, and a Beltane fire celebration on Thursday evening if you need something a bit different mid-week.

📷 - @tiramisuandcobeeston

A side street cafe in Beeston that has had queues since the day it opened, which tells you everything you need to know without needing to try it first. Though you should try it first. Tiramisu made fresh daily in flavours that go well beyond the classic, including pistachio, Nutella, salted caramel and daily specials that rotate through Lotus Biscoff, lemon curd and Black Forest.

Also cannoli, homemade gelato and Calabrian panuozzi sandwiches if you need something savoury to justify the rest of it.

FRESH EXPERIENCES

📷 - @thewateredgarden

A workshop where you build a fully planted, self-sustaining terrarium inside a glass demijohn bottle. Layers of substrate, soil, moss and tropical plants, all placed inside and ready to thrive with very little upkeep afterwards. The kind of thing that looks like it took a lot of effort and technically did, but not from you going forward.
