There's so much to celebrate
August 25 is Nottinghamshire Day - a day to champion the county and celebrate the histories and traditions of the places we live, work and enjoy our free time. The date has been chosen to mark the anniversary of the start of the English Civil War, an event triggered by Charles I raising the royal standard at Nottingham Castle in 1642.
The county's first Nottinghamshire Day Festival is taking place on Saturday August 27 at Sherwood Forest with activities for all the family, Robin Hood and live music. But first, here's a round up of some of the things we love most about Nottinghamshire and make us stand out from every other county across the UK.
Food & Drink Foodies from far and wide travel to Nottingham to eat at two Michelin-starred Restaurant Sat Bains, which not only ranks as one of the best in the UK, but one of the best in the world. Also flying the gastronomic flag for Nottingham is Alchemilla, which boasts one Michelin star. Historically Nottinghamshire is famed for Stilton cheese, pork pies and Bramley apples but there's an abundance of local producers putting the county on the food map from Welbeck's artisan bakery to Sauce Shop, whose condiments can be found in shops around the country.
American soul legend Edwin Starr made Beeston his home for much of his adult life, while Depeche Mode, Iron Maiden and Deep Purple all have links with Notts. Other big names in the music industry include Sleaford Mods, Jake Bugg and Sheku Kanneh-Mason, who played cello at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Barely a night goes by without a gig somewhere in the county whatever your taste, from the biggest names at the Motorpoint Arena, the Royal Concert Hall and Rock City to homegrown talent at your local pub. Acting royalty Nottinghamshire has produced some stellar talent on the acting front. Samantha Morton is one of the best actors of her generation, starring in Sweet and Lowdown, In America and Minority Report and earning Oscar nominations. Just like Sam, Vicky McClure, who grew up in Wollaton, and still lives in Notts, honed her acting skills at the Television Workshop.
