About The City Brief Arnold
Your Personal Newsletter For All Local Events in Arnold
Arnold has a strong industrial past and a vibrant community spirit that continues to shape life here today. From Top Valley to Gedling, from Killisick to Wollaton, the town’s neighbourhoods each have their own character and events. We’re here to help you keep up with what’s happening across Arnold each week, whether that’s the regular markets, seasonal activities, or one-off celebrations that bring neighbours together. We cover the regular happenings in Arnold: the Arnold Market, the Farmers’ Market, and the Flea Market all appear regularly in our listings, so you'll always know when and where to find them. Beyond the markets, Arnold’s calendar is filled with family-friendly occasions, from the annual Arnold Sports Day to Heritage Open Days, which open up the town’s history through free tours and exhibitions. Seasonal events like strawberry picking bring outdoor activity to the community, whilst festive occasions such as the Christmas Market add colour to the high street. Our role is simple: to collect, curate, and share what’s on in Arnold so you don't have to search different websites or notice boards. Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here for years, we keep you informed about events that matter to your neighbourhood. We focus on the gatherings that reflect Arnold's identity, its markets, its heritage, its family activities, and we update our listings every week so you’re always in the know. Arnold's past as a centre of framework knitting and textile manufacturing has given way to a present defined by community connection and local enterprise. That’s what we cover: the events and activities that keep that sense of community alive. From planning a weekend outing with your family to discovering what's happening in your local area, we are your weekly guide to Arnold.
