Nottingham City Council put on a free public event at the Arboretum park.
Once the sun had set and the light disappeared they held a 'Christmas in the park' event form 4pm to 6pm.
A brass band concert, christmas carols, a man and his guitar, free mince pies and mulled wine (none alcoholic), reef making, father christmas. The trees in the park were lit by coloured lights.
It was a good couple of hours...a community feel good factor prevailed...
This is the brass band, playing at the bandstand, which once stood in the Castle grounds, but was moved to the Aberetium in 1881 yes 1881 !!!)
