Excited that Nottingham Poetry Festival will be hosting a stage at this years Hustle. In the mean time, this'll be a treat peeps!

We’re not saying we vote Labour, but whoever you vote for this 2 minute video is definitely worth a watch. Best enjoyed with a Milkshake.

Hello Hustlers,
We're looking for a wizard who can come on board and help us with some of our social media content/delivery ahead of this years festival with both Hockley Hustle and Young Hustlers
Please tag anyone you know who may be interested in joining the team and helping us out....

So chuffed for the awesome Wigflex team pulling together such a varied, lively event across Nottingham. It felt proper special.
Amazing to be featured in The Guardian's "Worlds Best Parties" list popping Notts further on the map.
Congrats once again to Lukas Wigflex / Avarni Bilan and the whole team. We can't wait to come again next year!

Well! This isn't good.
Dig deep folks!

Hello Hustlers, it's the first day of Summer today which is SMASHING. We're heading ever closer to another brilliant Hockley Hustle, Sunday 27th October 2019 - save the date, book Monday off work, you know the drill. Tickets via our "book now" button. You're really going to like this one.
In the mean time, Nottingham Poetry Festival returns with a whole heap of brilliant, brilliant events featuring Linton Kwesi Johnson (yep, that LKJ), Ian McMillan, Andrew McMillan, Patience... Agbabi, Roger McGough, and around 50 locally organised events, workshops, discussions and more.
all info via - nottinghampoetryfestival.com
This festival is another example of Notts coming together to showcase what we're all about, and now in its fourth year is bigger and better than ever. Some may think that poetry is a bit stuffy, not for you or reference the text you were forced to learn at school, or worse. Well, let us prove you wrong, it's often fun or funny, beautiful, melodic, moving and hand in hand with our favourite songs.
Head on down to this free preview event at Fox & Grapes this Friday from 7pm. Lots of poetry, great people, plenty of beer, come and see what it's all about.
Love from all at the Hustle, see you there.
