Sat 23 & Sun 24 February - Time Machine

John Newling’s miracle trees grow ever so slowly and give us hints about his ideas of time. How do we measure time? What is a waste of time? How can we buy time and what is a good use of time? Take all these ideas, squeeze them together and invent a time machine that can make time do whatever you want it to.   

If you have further questions or queries, please contact Saima Kaur at Saima@nottinghamconetmeporary.org or phone her on 0115 9489783. For weekend enquiries please contact our reception on 0115 948 9750.
