Things to do this week: Nottingham Locavore Market, Love the 90s Fest and CommuniTree Festival!

Morning! A brand new local food market lands at Sneinton on Saturday with farmers, bakers, a butcher from Southwell and a bloke with 40 beehives. Free entry, five hours, and you'll leave with more jars than you came for.

Same day, Binks Yard turns into 1998 with Artful Dodger, N-Trance and Phats and Small, then Sunday there's a global music festival at Wollaton for £2.35, which is less than the parking.
