Vibe Makerz

Vibe Makerz are taking over Vault Nottingham on Sunday 25 October, as part of this year's Hockley Hustle. It's a DJ set and a dance floor, running from 14:00 to 21:30, so it's a proper afternoon and evening session rather than a late-night one.

If you're not familiar with Hockley Hustle, it's a charity festival that's run every year since 2006. The whole thing is spread across Hockley and Broad Street, with acts in 50 different venues. The main draw is the wristband: one gets you into every single one of them, and it also counts as a donation to local charities. Over two decades, the festival has raised £250,000, and this edition has already brought in £18,877 of a £20,000 target for Emmanuel House, IMPACD CIC, Al-Hurraya, The Harley Jae Trust, Young Carers Notts and Shifting your mindset.

That wristband opens up a huge range of local Notts talent across rock, jazz and samba, alongside poetry, bingo and performance art. There's a queer-led 'Queer Hustle' running across queer-led venues, and an alcohol-free 'Afternoon Jazzy' session of feel-good dancing. If you're in the area, there's also a 20th-anniversary exhibition at Broadway gallery on Heathcote Street. LeftLion rated the festival 91%.

Vibe Makerz hold down the Vault Nottingham stage from 14:00 to 21:30, so you can spend your afternoon dancing there and then wander off to other venues whenever you fancy. Wristbands are £25 in advance and £25 on the day, and that one wristband covers the whole festival.
