Snapped: Spiegeltent in Market Square!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Nottingham chapter.

There’s always something going on in Nottingham’s Market Square, whether it is the Christmas Winter Wonderland or the beach in the summer. You may have noticed this week, however, the unusual circus-esque tent sat in Market Square (30th September to 4th October). With its beautiful stained glass windows, this Spiegeltent is one of the few remaining in the world and is over a century old. It has been brought to Nottingham for the first time by Nottingham City Council, assisted by the lovely local Alley Café, who are serving a host of delightful drinks. Each night brings a new performance, from burlesque to theatre shows: all surrounded by the pink glow and dozens of glittering mirrors, oozing with sophistication and intrigue (much like myself at a 9am lecture). When will Nottingham ever cease to surprise us!

Nottingham

Sarah is currently a 4th year student at the University of Nottingham, studying Biochemistry and Biological Chemistry. As a photography intern for HC Nottingham, she now has an excuse for all the snaps she takes while out and about exploring the city. In addition to this, she is also a copy editor (mostly because she's one of those annoying gals who likes to correct you). In between adventures, she can often be found either: cuddled up with her two extremely fluffy labradoodle pups Sherlock and Watson; singing loudly in her student flat; reading books about bad-ass women of the past; fretting about whether her fringe is straight or trying not to burn something in the kitchen.
