Gedling Borough Council is delighted to announce the return of the Arnold Summer Fair on Saturday 21 June, from 11am to 5pm at the award-winning Arnot Hill Park, sponsored by Willmott Dixon. The popular community celebration promises a full day of free, family-friendly entertainment, with live music, creative workshops, historical exhibitions, and multicultural street food.

This year’s event will shine a spotlight on the heritage of Gedling, with a special focus on commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. Visitors can explore the Victory Nottinghamshire exhibition, which highlights the impact of WWII on the county and its communities.

The main stage will feature a vibrant programme of live music and performances, providing the soundtrack to a day packed with activity. Families can also enjoy free circus and creative workshops, try their skills at the Skate Jam hosted by Skate Nottingham, or take part in youth workshops delivered by the Notts County Council Youth Service.

There will be a wide range of community and charity stalls to explore, alongside a tempting selection of multicultural street food offering something for all tastes.

Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke MBE, said: “The Arnold Summer Fair is our flagship event and a real highlight in the borough’s calendar. I’m always filled with pride seeing our community come together to enjoy a day of free, inclusive entertainment. This year’s focus on heritage and history, especially the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, is a reminder of the strength and resilience of our communities. I look forward to welcoming everyone to Arnot Hill Park for what promises to be a fantastic day.”
