the Bartons Extreme Sports Film Festival has been postponed until 2015

Bartons has experienced a really encouraging public response to their Autumn 'Silence of the Trams - Series of Irregular Events' at Chilwell. Comedy has near sold out, Sunday Markets have been a delight and the Heritage Event at Bartons was more popular than ever on Saturday September 13th. Audiences are building for music events too. There is even a planning application in a current consultation period at Broxtowe Borough Council, proposing regularisation of the wide range of experimental uses seen in recent years in Bartons Gallery building (see Broxtowe planning application number 14/00556/FUL to comment).

An historic Nottinghamshire firm is returning to the city centre for the first time in 25 years.

Petrol was in short supply during World War One prompting an entrepreneur from Nottinghamshire to look at alternative ways of powering his buses.

History repeating itself...
