Nottingham Riverside Festival 2019: Dates and opening times confirmed

Exploding confetti geysers, ball pit moats and a five feet high Fab lolly maze kept families busy at last year's Riverside Festival so we can't wait to hear what 2019 has in store.

As always there will be three days of live music, craft stalls and some adrenaline-inducing fairground rides while kids of all ages can enjoy the vintage organs, street entertainment, dragon boat racing, Saturday night fireworks display and probably a doughnut or five.

The summer festival will be welcoming thousands of visitors to Victoria Embankment, by the banks of the River Trent, from Friday, August 2 to Sunday, August 4.
