Submissions open. After a healthy run into 2025 (Bananas, crumbling hospitals, struggling hospices and mouldy homes) we’re in a bit of an ideas drought.
Pls drop me a line if there is a topic in Notts you feel is deserving of wider exposure. People led stories preferred.

Inconsolable daughter after finding out The Ballet Shoes has been cancelled 15 mins before the show. @NationalTheatre wasted train tickets. Can’t be helped but so hard to cheer an 8 year old who had been looking forward to it for months.
