On 28th June Transition Nottingham is organising Midsummer Energy, a festival which explores energy in its many forms; from electricity to dance, wind power to wonderful live music. Different groups from Nottingham communities and the energy production world are coming together to generate a vibrant and positive event to stimulate and entertain everyone that uses energy in any form.
Midsummer Energy is local people, local energy, local food and local fun. If you have used anything with a plug connected to it in the past 24hours, Midsummer Energy is for you. More
