Mansfield District Council has announced a series of events that will take place on Mansfield Market over the coming months.

As part of the market transformation project, the council has been hosting street entertainment on the Market Place to entertain shoppers on the last Saturday of each month.

The next entertainer is Covent Garden star Felicity Footloose, who can be seen at intervals throughout the day on Saturday, 25 Februar,y performing daredevil stunts such as hanging upside down by her toes and juggling knives.

A special Mother’s Day event is also coming to the Market Place a month later on Saturday 25 March, which will include demonstrations, crafts and beauty treatments.

Portfolio Holder for Cultural Services, Town and District Centres, Councillor David Smith, said: “There is something on in town every month to give visitors another reason to choose Mansfield as their main shopping destination.

“Other events include a Market Celebration, Love your Local Market entertainment and Armed Forces Day, all of which are sure to be great days out for all the family.

“Show your support for the town centre and join us as we work hard to make Mansfield thrive.”
