Ready for an adventure? Rebel Rangers is back – bigger, bolder, and now in both Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire! This February half term through to Easter, join the ultimate family challenge and keep the kids entertained like never before! Rebel Rangers is an interactive trail designed for families with children aged five to 14, encouraging you to explore some of the region’s most iconic days out, heritage sites and green spaces while uncovering fascinating stories from the past. The campaign first launched in Newark and Sherwood during summer 2025, where hundreds of families took part and loved the experience. Now, it’s back – bigger and bolder and in collaboration with Bassetlaw District Council, Bolsover District Council, and Nottinghamshire County Council.
