Cllr Dave Trimble, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture said:Over the past 3 years, the Spielgeltent has been an incredibly popular part of our October events season, with the pop up venue having a programme to suit every taste from stand up comedy to burlesque. We expect that many of the shows sell out very quickly, so I would urge people not to miss out on this truly novel entertainment experience. Nottingham is definitely the place to be this Autumn.”

Brendan Moffett CEO, Marketing Nottingham & Nottinghamshire said: “I’m really looking forward to the return of the Spielgeltent which is always incredibly popular. It is a great example of the range of events and activities lined up for October with something for all ages. Last year’s October events had over 500,000 attendees, 35% of which were visitors from outside of the City. With the additional events in the Spiegeltent and the wider October programme, we expect to attract even more visitors and to improve on the £4million that was generated last year into the local economy.”
