Things to Do This Week: Disney On Ice, A Sherwood Market and a Paint & Sip Night!

Morning! The week’s looking lively. Sherwood’s gone full festive with mince pies and markets, Disney’s skating into town with a blast of nostalgia, and the Playhouse is swapping screens for paintbrushes and prosecco. Add dachshunds in Santa hats and an Abba singalong, and you’ve got your weekend sorted.

Sherwood kicks off the festive season with its first Christmas market of the year. Local makers, bakers and crafters will be filling every corner with handmade gifts, decorations and sweet treats. There’s a wreath workshop for the creative ones, kids crafts to keep them entertained, and a tuneless choir bringing the fun. It’s free, full of cheer and the perfect warm-up before the mince pies start flying.

Studio Forma’s just opened on Daleside Road, bringing a friendly take on Reformer Pilates that actually makes you want to show up. Founder Kate Manfredi and her team focus on movement that feels good and builds real strength, minus the scary instructor vibes. Classes are filling fast, so if you fancy feeling lighter, stronger and smug about your posture, grab your spot now.

Disney On Ice is back with a full cast of heroes, princesses and catchy tunes that’ll live rent-free in your head for weeks. Moana sails, Elsa freezes, Ariel flips her fins and Mickey somehow holds it all together. It’s colourful, loud, heart-melting fun for the kids, and a test of stamina for every parent in the building.

🎭 FRESH EXPERIENCES

🎨 - Paint & Sip Evening - Acrylics, Prosecco and Playful Expression
📍 - Nottingham Playhouse
📅 - Thu 13th November
⏰ - 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
🎟️ - £35
📷 - @artist.megan @nottmplayhouse

Trade your phone for a paintbrush and unwind in this guided art session led by Nottingham artist Megan Hatton. You’ll learn to use a palette knife to create your own abstract expressionist piece while sipping a glass of Prosecco (or a soft drink if you’re the designated driver). No artistic background needed - just bring an open mind and a willingness to make a mess that somehow turns into art.
