We sift through the listings so you don’t have to…

You can’t have Bonfire Night without fireworks right?! A huge free display begins ay 9pm with fairground rides and a huge bonfire thrown in for good measure.

2) The Halle Gala Concert @ TRCH
Wednesday, 7.30pm, £5
When you can get tickets for just £5 with a Go Classics card (get one here) this is an absolute must. The epic Janáček Sinfonietta, featuring 12 trumpets, is a spectacle not to be missed.
3) Steel Panther @ Rock City
Monday, 7pm, SOLD OUT
In a similar vain to Tenacious D, these American boys know a thing or two about Rock and Roll. Anyone lucky enough to have tickets to this gig will be in for a night to remember. Also sold out this week at Rock City is Frank Turner, once again showing Rock City’s very wide breadth of artists.

Saturday, 7.30, £10.50-18.50
Elgar’s setting of John Henry Newman’s poem is one of the highlights of choral repertoire. This will be a delight for the Nottingham Harmonic Choir to sing and for the audience to enjoy.
