Value for money half term activities for young and old alike
Next week (Saturday 24th October – Sunday 1st November 2009) is half term in Nottingham and there are simply loads of fun things to do going on throughout the town. Here are some of the best bits:
GameCity Squared Tuesday – Saturday
The videogame festival for everyone returns on Tuesday with an exciting programme of activities. There is much more to the festival than playing videogames – there will be GameBoy song writing masterclasses, chance to make origami spaceships or enjoy public readings by top sci-fi authors. Most activities will take place in the Old Market Square, and everything’s free (except for any food or drink you want to buy). Join them for an experience that will transform how you see the games industry.
