Based on the community history project ‘The Social World of Nottingham’s Historic Green Spaces’, this promenade performance by a community cast is suitable for people of all ages who have an interest in and a love of these green lungs of Nottingham.  Featuring live music and a host of characters from across the ages, this highly visual performance will lead the audience on a journey through the parks and their history. Why were they created? How have they been used over the last 170 years? And what lessons can be learnt from this as we move into the future?

The performance will begin at the Addison Street Entrance, on the grass on the Arboretum side of the tunnel

Parking:         Arboretum Street (limited) and some Pay and Display street parking in surrounding road,

Forest Park and Ride – short tram journey or steep walk to Arboretum Street entrance

Buses: lots of buses stop on Mansfield Road.  Check Nottingham City Transport for details of services https://www.nctx.co.uk/
