Hello!

We're at that between-two-worlds stage of the Lots for Tots lifecycle where some events and new groups crop up after our last issue was published, but it will be too late to go into our next issue!

To help you through the Twilight Zone until our next issue comes out at the end of March, we've picked a few highlights for you. Enjoy!

FREE GLASS OF BUBBLY FOR MUMS ON THE DAY 

The National Ice Centre is saying a big thank you to all the hardworking mums out there, by offering a free glass of bubbly when visiting on the day.
 
Families in Nottingham can mark this year’s Mother’s Day with a difference by taking part in a spot of ice skating, with two dedicated sessions across the day.
 
The sessions will be taking place on Sunday 31 March from 10am to midday, and then from 1.45pm to 5pm. Standard skating prices apply, with under 5s going free. 
 
Mums who purchase an adult skating ticket can grab a free flute of Prosecco or soft drink to sip in our Sub Zero café, while little ones can enjoy zipping about on the ice, as well as fun family-friendly activities including arts, crafts and face painting.
 
There will also be delicious chocolatey treats up for grabs for lucky mummies, and our in-house photographer will be popping by across the day, with our special Mother’s Day selfie frame in-hand. Photos will be available on our official Facebook page after the event.

Tickets are available to pre-book now and prices include skate hire. Tickets can be pre-booked here: https://skating.national-ice-centre.com/Online/

15 November–31 December
Old Market Square, Nottingham
​While away the hours browsing over 70 traditional, Bavarian-style stalls, searching for the perfect gift among handmade jewellery, woolly winter wear and wooden crafts, as well as sampling the delicious homemade and artisan cheeses, chutneys and chocolates on offer.
Kids can enjoy the traditional rides and helter-skelter or whizzing down King Street on the brand-new 30ft toboggan slide, and the whole family can show off their skating skills on the real, 750m² ice rink.​
