May Fest 2014 -- back and bigger than ever

The University of Nottingham is opening its doors once again for its sixth annual community open day on Saturday 10 May, 11am-5pm. May Fest takes place at leafy University Park and is jam-packed with free events and activities for the entire family — and it's all free. Whatever the weather, there's loads to do from pottery in the University's very own yurt to tai chi in the Chinese activity village and organised tours of the beautiful grounds and gardens. There are activities suitable for all ages and interests, and this year there's more than ever for older children, teenagers and parents.
