Markets and fairs
From Mansfield to Worksop, and Southwell to Newark, Nottinghamshire’s towns have a strong market tradition - what better time to explore these gems than Christmas? Transformed into winter wonderlands with lights, music, pantomimes, markets and fairs, the only festive staple they don’t guarantee is the snow.
