The Arnold Summer Fair, sponsored by Willmott Dixon takes place this Saturday, June 22nd at Arnot Hill Park. The event will run from 11am to 5pm and promises a free day of family fun, events, workshops, and live music from the main stage.

The stage will be closed by the excellent G.O.A Choir, a Nottingham based choir who have collaborated with some of the finest acts in Nottingham including Natalie Duncan and Nina Smith.
As part of the council’s 50th anniversary, there will be several events taking place across the event to mark this important event including special performances from Flying High Theatre Company highlighting the past, present and future of the borough.
This year’s poster artwork for the event was designed by Honey Williams, a Nottingham based artist who produces graphic designs and illustrations with her work inspired by art that recognises identity, race, music and history.
As well as the main stage, there will also be a host of activities happening around the park including circus performances, interactive skate and arts sessions, DJ workshops, and giant interactive musical instruments.
