With a brilliant selection of independent shops, cafes and bars, Arnold is a popular place with shoppers and diners. Now, the borough’s capital is gearing up to hold its annual Summer Fair.
The annual event, which is held in Arnot Hill Park, will take place on Saturday, June 22 from 11am to 5pm and promises to be a free day of family fun, events, workshops, and live music from the main stage.
This year’s event coincides with the golden anniversary of organisers Gedling Borough Council, and the fair will showcase the rich heritage of the area and also some of the amazingly talented individuals who ‘make the borough great’.
