We had a lovely weekend at 2 local festivals. On Saturday we went to the Lady Bay community arts festival. It was based at several venues in Lady Bay, West Bridgford. One of which was the primary school, however most were at peoples houses.
Lady Bay, like Sherwood, seems to have a higher than average concentration of artists. For the weekend festival, many open their houses and workshops and you are welcome to see the displays, talk to the artists and of course you can buy what you like. In addition, in past years, other residents open their houses and host artists from outside, some from outside Notts.
There were lots of activities for children and Cas and I did an African drumming work shop! Repeat after me 'Africa is hot and dry' . .it was good fun!
The main fun was gawking in peoples houses and gardens! We also had some hardcore locally brewed Elderflower wine which nearly killed us because the weather was insanely hot.
On the Sunday we went to the Green Festival in the Arbo. It was a bit rubbish in terms of it being the usual stalls selling renewable energy, second hand clothes and socio-political magazines! However we saw lots of people we knew and hadn't seen for quite a while, so it was really nice and Cas enjoyed playing in the sunshine with the children of our friends!
