Nottingham has lost some iconic events over recent years, from festivals to firework displays.
Many such events attracted thousands of people back in their heyday, but for whatever reason were cancelled by the powers that be.
Since 2017, for example, the city has not had a Christmas light switch-on in Old Market Square.
In years gone by, this popular event would have attracted thousands of people to the city centre to watch celebrities such as Sven Goran Eriksson and Richard Whitehead turn on the lights.
Meanwhile, the free Bonfire Night festivities at the Forest Recreation ground have not taken place since 2019.
The cancellation of this event is owed to financial pressures facing Nottingham City Council.
We recently asked readers on our Facebook page which loved and lost Nottingham events should return.
Join us as we take a trip down memory lane by picking out 6 once-popular Nottingham events that should return in the future:
5. Riverside Festival with fireworks and live music
Nottingham Riverside Festival will return this August, but once again without fireworks and live music. These two elements were removed from the festival in 2024, with organisers admitting that the event would be "scaled back". Residents are adamant that fireworks and live music need to return. | George Buksmann Photo: George Buksmann
6. Heineken Festival at Wollaton Park
Heineken music festivals were held across the UK during the early to mid-90s, including at Wollaton Park. The Heineken events also featured long-established bands and singers including Britpop favourites Blur. | Lee Haywood Photo: Lee Haywood
