What's on in Bunny

Nottinghamshire, England

From craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to quiz nights that'll test your knowledge of Nottinghamshire trivia (yes, really) — Bunny has it sorted. Coffee mornings, farmers' markets, film screenings, book clubs, open mic nights, toddler groups, and the occasional village fête that runs like clockwork. All the events that happen in village halls and community centres and local venues that the big listings sites don't bother with. We check the parish council pages, the library noticeboards, the venue websites buried three clicks deep. If it's happening locally and it's worth knowing about, it's here.

Celebrating Cowslip Sunday in Lambley Village

As part of our May Day celebrations, on Sunday 3rd May,  a team from the Framework Knitters Museum will be based in Lambley Village Hall celebrating the lost springtime tradition of Cowslip Sunday. Lambley, just 6 miles north of Nottingham, was one of the prime sites for framework knitting during the nineteenth century. This was also the time when Cowslip Sunday was celebrated by the local stockingers and their families.
