On Saturday 16 September the station opened its doors to the public as part of the national heritage week events around the country. We welcomed almost a hundred visitors during the day, who were treated to exhibitions about the station’s history, its connection with Gedling Colliery and JRR Tolkein, its time as a youth club as well as a display focused on local history. Visitors were also able to view the proposed plans for the building and the “re-wilding” of the old five-a-side football pitch.
The event raised over £200 towards the renovation of the building through the sale of raffle tickets, tea, coffee and cakes. Huge thanks to the local businesses and individuals that provided raffle prizes.
