Mansfield /ˈmænzfiːld/ is a market town and the administrative centre of the Mansfield District in Nottinghamshire, England. It is the largest town in the wider Mansfield Urban Area³ and the second largest settlement in Nottinghamshire, after the city of Nottingham. Henry III granted Mansfield the Royal Charter of a market town in 1227. The town lies in the Maun Valley, 12 miles (19 km) north of Nottingham. The district had a population of 110,500 at the 2021 census.⁴ Mansfield is the one local authority in Nottinghamshire with a publicly elected mayor, the Mayor of Mansfield. In ancient times, it became the pre-eminent in importance amongst the towns of Sherwood Forest.⁵

There is a dispute as to the origins of the name. Three conjectures have been considered: the name may have been given to the noble family of Mansfield who came over with William the Conqueror; other sources suggest that the name came from Manson, an Anglo-Saxon word for traffic and a field meaning a place of trade; while others claim the town is named after the River Maun, which runs through Mansfield.^5: 14

Settlement dates to Roman Britain times between AD 43 to AD 410. Hayman Rooke in 1787 discovered two Roman villas between Mansfield Woodhouse and Pleasley; a cache of denarii (300-400 Roman Silver Coins were found near King's Mill in 1849).⁶⁷⁸ A Roman tessellated pavement was found in one of the villas near Mansfield Woodhouse.⁹

In AD 868, the Danes came into the county and they had complete control over the county by AD 877 Their occupation left names on the town, such as Skerry Hill, Ratcliffe Gate and Carr Bank.¹⁰

The Royal Manor of Mansfield was held by the King. In 1042, Edward the Confessor possessed a manor in Mansfield. During the Norman Conquest in 1066, William the Conqueror made Sherwood Forest a Royal Forest for hunting.¹¹

The town was recorded as being Mammesfeld in the Wapentake of Broxtowe and the land of William the Conqueror in the Domesday Book of 1086. William owned two carucates, five sochmans and thirty-five villains; twenty borders, with nineteen carucates and a half in demesne, a mill, piscary, twenty-four acres of meadow and pasture' in Mansfield.¹²⁵¹³

In the time of Henry II of England, the King visited what is now known as Kings Mill, staying at the home of Sir John Cockle for a night having been hunting in Sherwood Forest; Cockle was later known as the Miller of Mansfield.⁵¹⁴ In 1199, the Manor was owned by King John; he used to visit Mansfield frequently between 1200 and 1216, and built a residence here. Later, Edward I held a Royal Council in the town. The Manor, then owned by Henry III, subsequently passed to Henry de Hastings. In 1329, Queen Isabella, mother of Edward III, was the Lady of the Manor of Mansfield.⁵

Market-petition documents of 1227 spelt Mansfield Maunnesfeld. Richard II signed a warrant in November 1377 to grant tenants the right to hold a four-day fair each year; the spelling had changed to Mannesfeld.¹⁵ Mansfield, Skegby and Sutton in Ashfield were the land of the king in 1086 as stated in the Domesday Book.¹⁶ There are remains of the 12th-century King John's Palace in Kings Clipstone, between Mansfield and Edwinstowe, and it was an area of retreat for royal families and dignitaries through to the 15th century. It was here that William the Lion of Scotland met Richard I of England (Richard the Lionheart) to congratulate him on his return from the crusades. It was also where Queen Eleanor, the first wife of Edward I, was taken ill and moved to Harby.⁵ King John and Edward I are reputed to have had impromptu parliaments at the Parliament Oak, near Market Warsop.¹⁷

St Peter and St Paul's Church is mentioned in the 1086 Doomsday Book and, in 1092, it was passed by William II to Robert Bloet the bishop of Lincoln and Lord Chancellor of England.¹⁸¹⁶¹⁹

Access to the town was by road from the city of Nottingham, on the way to Sheffield. In the town centre, a commemorative plaque was erected in 1988, together with a nearby tree to mark the point thought once to be the centre of Sherwood Forest. The plaque was refurbished in 2005 and moved to a ground-plinth.²⁰²¹²²

In 1516, during the reign of Henry VIII, an act of parliament settled the Manor to Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk.⁵

Dame Cecily Flogan in 1521, gave extensive land to the parish church and community in Mansfield in her will. The church, at the time, was in the hands of Edward VI.⁵²³

Travellers in the 16th and 17th centuries had several inns and stable yards, dating from the medieval period, to stop at: the Harte; the Swan, which survives and has a 1490 dating stone; the Talbot; the White Bear; the Ram, with timber from before 1500; and the White Lion. Several timber-framed cruck buildings were demolished in 1929; in 1973, a local historical society documented another during demolition dated to 1400 or earlier. Other Tudor houses in Stockwell Gate, Bridge Street and Lime Tree Place were also demolished to make way for development before they could be viewed for listing. Most remaining buildings are from the 17th century. The Swan was rebuilt in 1584 and became a coaching inn in the 1820s/30s.²⁴

The Manor was passed to George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury the husband of Bess of Hardwick, Countess of Shrewsbury in 1589, who then passed it to Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury (the 6th Earls son) until his death in 1616. Bess's daughter Mary Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury the wife of Gilbert Talbot became the owner.²⁵ Finally, the Manor was passed to the Dukes of Newcastle and Portland.⁵

Mansfield and surrounding areas in Nottinghamshire became a strong centre for Nonconformism, separating from the Church of England.

In 1647, George Fox, who was originally from Fenny Drayton in Leicestershire, lived in Mansfield and worked as a shoemaker for four years. George lived in a cottage at the site of St Phillip Neri Catholic Church and ground on Chesterfield Road.^{26275: 227–334} It was at this time that he started his ministry. George Fox was imprisoned in Nottingham in 1649 for interrupting the service at the church in Mansfield Woodhouse. He became the founder of the (Religious Society of Friends) Quakers. Mansfield became the birthplace of the Quaker religion after Fox had a revelation walking past St Peter and St Paul's Church; he felt compelled to preach to others. The revelation is mentioned in his journal to which he states "and as I was walking by the steeplehouse side, in the town of Mansfield the Lord said unto me, that which people do trample upon must be thy food. And as the Lord spoke he opened it to me how that people and professors did trample upon the life, even the life of Christ was trampled upon…" The 'steeplhouses' meaning the church of St Peter and St Pauls Church.²⁸ This was during the time of the English Civil War.

There is a Quaker Heritage Trail in the town; the former meeting house was on the current site of the bus station.²⁹³⁰³¹ Fox met Elizabeth Hooton at her home Quaker House in nearby Skegby; she is usually considered to be the first person to accept the doctrines of Quakerism.³²³³

The Old Meeting House (Unitarian church), on Stockwell Gate, was built in 1702 and is the oldest nonconformist place of worship in Nottinghamshire. The history of the church is traced back to 1666. During the persecution of Presbyterian ministers, at the time of the Nonconformists Act 1665, eight ministers sought refuge in Mansfield under the protection of Reverend John Firth.³⁴

In 1690, during the reign of William III and Queen Mary, Daniel Clay was put in the pillory in Mansfield for disloyalty, for speaking these words: "God dam King William and Queen Mary and yt King James both should and would come again."³⁵

Elizabeth Heath founded the almshouses for the poor in 1691. Six were to house Quakers and six members of the established church.²⁹³⁶¹⁸

In 1709, Samuel Brunt left £436.15 to the relief of the poor inhabitants of Mansfield. Faith Clerkson in 1725 and Charles Thompson in 1784 both donated money to educating children in Mansfield; this formulated the beginning of the Brunt's Charity.⁵³³

Robert Dodsley, who wrote The King and the Miller of Mansfield, was a stocking weaver in the town; his writings were also set in the town. He became one of the foremost publishers of that day, publishing Dr Samuel Johnson's London in 1738. Later, he suggested and helped finance Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language.³⁷

In 1750, George Whitefield, one of the founders of Methodism, came to preach in the town.³³³⁸ The Moot Hall, in the Mansfield Market Place, was erected in 1752 by Henrietta Harley, Countess of Oxford and Countess Mortimer.⁵

The Earldom of Mansfield, in Nottingham, was created in 1776 for the Scottish Lawyer William Murray, who became the first Earl of Mansfield; he later became the Lord Chief Justice of the Kings Bench.³⁹ William Murray presided over the Somerset vs. Stewart case in 1772, which lead to the abolition of slavery on British soil.⁴⁰ Lord Mansfield was a family connection of Jane Austen's family; it is believed this led to the novel Mansfield Park.⁴¹

It was recorded that the Mansfield Workhouse was originally based on Nottingham Road in 1777, housing 56 inmates. It later moved to Stockwell Gate, where the workhouse was designed to house 300 people under the Mansfield Poor Law.⁴²⁴³

In 1790, John Throsby described Mansfield as "a flourishing and genteel market town, general well built...and is certainly an ancient place, and some think of high antiquity."⁴⁴

In 1851, Lord George Bentinck was commemorated in the Cavendish Monument (Bentinck Memorial) in the Market Place, paid for by public subscription.⁴⁵ The monument has a square base and three steps, and the style is Gothic revival. It was originally intended to include a figure of Lord George, but there were insufficient funds.⁴⁶

In 1894, William Horner Groves described Mansfield as "one of the quaintest and most healthy of the towns in the Midland counties, is the market town for an agricultural district of eight miles around it. It is the capital of the Broxtowe Hundred of Nottinghamshire and gives its name to a Parliamentary Division of the county."⁵

The Carnegie Old Library on Leeming Street was funded and erected in 1905 by the industrialist and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie.⁴⁷⁴⁸ 1905 was also the year that the Mansfield and District Light Railways tram system was opened; it closed in 1932.⁴⁹

Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip visited Mansfield in 1977, to mark her Silver Jubilee.⁵⁰

Mansfield is a market town with a 700-year-old tradition; a royal charter was issued in 1227. The present market square was created after demolition under the Mansfield Improvement Act 1823(4 Geo. 4. c. xcii).¹⁵ In the centre is the Bentinck Memorial, built in 1849, which commemorates Lord George Bentinck (1802–1848), son of the William Bentinck, 4th Duke of Portland, a local landowner.⁵¹

The nearby Buttercross Market in West Gate, site of an old cattle market and named for the buttercross, has a centrepiece of local sandstone dating from the 16th century;²⁰ Mansfield District Council closed this section in 2015.⁵²⁵³ Adjacent is Mansfield Library, opened officially by Queen Elizabeth II in 1977 and refurbished in 2012.⁵⁴ The West Gate Pump commemorates John Adams bringing the first Methodist service to Mansfield in 1788.⁵⁵

The town was originally the terminus of the Mansfield and Pinxton Railway, a horse-drawn plateway built in 1819 and one of the first acquisitions of the newly formed Midland Railway.⁵⁶ The Midland used the final section to extend its new Leen Valley line to the present station in 1849.

The Midland Railway extended its Rolleston Junction–Mansfield line to Mansfield in 1871. It continued the line north to Worksop in 1875; opened a link from Mansfield Woodhouse to Westhouses and Blackwell in 1886, and then completed another link from Pleasley through Bolsover to Barrow Hill in 1890. The locally promoted Mansfield Railway, between Kirkby South Junction and Clipstone Junction, broke the Midland Railway monopoly; it was opened in stages between 1913 and 1916 for goods trains and, in 1917, for Nottingham Victoria–Ollerton passenger trains, calling at Mansfield. Though nominally independent, the Mansfield Railway connected at both ends with the Great Central Railway, which worked the trains.⁵⁷ The town had two stations: Mansfield Town, the former Midland station on Station Road, and Mansfield Central, the former Mansfield Railway station, on Great Central Road, near Ratcliffe Gate. Mansfield & District Light Railways ran a tram service between 1905 and 1932.

Mansfield Central lost its scheduled passenger services at the beginning of 1956 and Mansfield Town closed to passengers in 1964, leaving the town without a passenger railway service until 1995. During this period, Mansfield was, by some definitions, the largest town in Britain without a railway station.⁵⁶ The closest station was Alfreton; between 1973 and 1995, it was named Alfreton and Mansfield Parkway to encourage use as a railhead for Mansfield.

The Midland Railway's 1875 viaduct in White Hart Street is a Grade II listed building.⁵⁸

Mansfield has an average elevation of 117 metres (128 yd), with elements elevated at 190 metres (210 yd).⁵⁹ The town lies on the River Maun.

The town is 12 miles (19 km) from Chesterfield, 15 miles (24 km) from Nottingham, 23 miles (37 km) from Derby and 30 miles (48 km) from Sheffield.

Mansfield has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb), with a narrow temperature range, an even spread of rainfall, low levels of sunshine and often breezy conditions throughout the year. The closest weather-station records for Mansfield come from Warsop in Meden Vale, 7 miles (11 km) to the north.

The absolute maximum temperature record for the area stands at 34.6 °C (94.3 °F), recorded in August 1990.⁶⁰ In a typical year, the warmest day should reach 28.9 °C (84.0 °F) and 12.72 days should reach 25.1 °C (77.2 °F) or higher.⁶¹⁶²

The absolute minimum temperature record for the area is −19.1 °C (−2.4 °F), recorded in January 1987. There is air frost on an average of 59 nights a year.⁶³

Rainfall averages 634 mm (25 in) a year, with 113 days reporting in excess of 1 mm (0.04 in) of rain (observation period 1971–2000).⁶⁴⁶⁵

The weather station is based at Warsop, 7 miles from Mansfield town centre.

The town lies within the Mansfield (UK Parliament constituency), which also includes neighbouring Warsop. The current MP since 2024 is:

Mansfield
Steve Yemm
Labour Party

The role of Mayor of Mansfield is an elected position; since 2019, it has been held by Andy Abrahams.⁶⁷

In April 2017, Sophie Whitby was elected to the Mansfield district as a Member of Youth Parliament, on a manifesto that included promoting equality for the LGBT community.⁶⁸

Mansfield has a large market place within its commercial and retail centre. Until 2016, there was also market trading at the old Buttercross Market.^69707172 Among Mansfield's retail outlets is the Four Seasons shopping centre created in 1973–1976, with over 50 units occupied by national chains and phone shops.⁷³⁷⁴⁷⁵

Close to the Market Place is Leeming Street, which houses the Mansfield Museum, Palace Theatre, restaurants, public houses, bars and nightclubs.

There are also three outdoor retail parks, two with adjacent branded fast-food outlets.⁷⁶⁷⁷⁷⁸

Since 2010, there has been a town-centre Business Improvement District (BID), financed by 2% extra on the rateable value of nearby businesses.^79808182

The BID also offers events to attract visitors and raise awareness, provides security including banning orders and improved shop frontages,⁸³⁸⁴ Other BID moves have been "gating off" alleyways blighted by anti-social behaviour, improving signage, and enhancing cleansing operations.^85868788 and installed a crowd-funded town centre wi-fi internet installation costing £37,000.⁸⁹

In 2012, the Mansfield constituency's Labour Party criticised the BID for receiving almost a million pounds in its first three years, with little to show for it.⁹⁰

Mansfield is going through a period of urban regeneration, with new homes being built for a growing demand. Data collated by the Office for National Statistics in 2020 advised that more people are moving from London to Mansfield than any other part of Nottinghamshire.⁹¹

Mansfield District Council received £25 million from the UK Government's Levelling Up Fund in 2023 for the Mansfield Connect project, which aims to regenerate the former Co-operative department store (taken over by Beales in 2011)⁹² into a multi-agency and community hub for the NHS, the Department of Work and Pensions, Nottinghamshire County Council, Vision West Nottinghamshire College and Mansfield CVS.⁹³

In February 2022, Severn Trent Water shared its £76 million Green Recovery Project for flood alleviation investment for the town, including rain garden areas around the Market Place, a memorial garden at the back of the Old Town Hall and a pocket park on the corner of Walkden Street/Quaker Way.⁹⁴ Some of the funding was spent on the memorial garden on Exchange Row, landscaped areas in Mansfield Market Place and Market House Place, as part of the Sustainable Urban Drainage System programme to prevent flooding.⁹⁵

Also in 2023, the council purchased White Hart Street in the town centre and announced plans for its redevelopment⁹⁶ — a mixed-use development of commercial premises and affordable homes was given the green light in 2025, and the scheme is scheduled for completion in 2028.⁹⁷ This is part of the Mansfield Town Centre Masterplan.⁹⁸

A significant number of new homes and developments have been built or are planned in Mansfield, including High Oakham Park⁹⁹ and the Lindhurst development, which is to include 1,700 homes, a hotel, health centre, primary school, care home and offices.¹⁰⁰

Rosemary Centre, built as a large weaving shed in 1907 by John Harwood Cash and converted to retail in 1984,¹⁰¹ is a pedestrianised area off the town centre with a covered streetside parade. In April 2023, a planning application to demolish the Rosemary Centre to build a Lidl supermarket and another retail unit was approved. Demolition of the centre began in January 2026 and is yet to be completed.¹⁰²¹⁰³ The adjacent Walkden Street car park's top floor collapsed and Mansfield District Council have decided for the car park to be demolished.¹⁰⁴ This forms part of the town centre Masterplan.¹⁰⁵

A new hotel is expected to be built on the former bus station, as planned from 2020, at the cost of £12 million. Planning permission has been granted but, due to the rising costs of inflation, the plans are being revised to be more cost effective.¹⁰⁶

A food market is planned for the former BHS store in Mansfield incorporating cafes, bars and cookery college. ¹⁰⁷

The headquarters of the Mansfield District Council at Chesterfield Road South were purpose-built in 1986, bringing together workers from 12 offices across the district. The project took two years and over-ran the anticipated cost by £1 million, totalling £6.7 million, then the council's biggest spending scheme.¹⁰⁸ It was opened in 1987 by Princess Anne.¹⁰⁹ In-house catering facilities are run by outside contractors.¹¹⁰ The civic centre includes Job Centre Plus, an agency within the Department for Work and Pensions.¹¹¹

Mansfield Community Partnership at the Civic Centre is a centralised hub for law and order, with police, street wardens, housing, domestic abuse and anti social behaviour officers in a dedicated town centre unit.^112113114115

In 2021, the council proposed a new community hub at the old town hall in the town centre, intending to relocate staff together with other parties having vested interests in the present building and area.¹¹⁶ By 2023, the council's priorities had changed, having acquired a £20 million grant from central government towards the cost of converting the nearby old Art Deco-styled former Co-operative store, closed since 2020.¹¹⁷ Named Mansfield Connect, a multi-agency hub is planned with space sub-let to partner organisations such as police, social care and Jobcentre Plus.¹¹⁸

Reconstruction of King's Mill Hospital, part of which was completed by 2009, is near to the Mansfield and Ashfield Regeneration Route (MARR) which opened in 2004,¹¹⁹ a by-pass route around the town designed to reduce traffic through-flow and improve public access by connecting the A617 at Pleasley to the A617 at Rainworth.

In 2009, Mansfield made an unsuccessful bid for city status, appending redevelopment plans for retail, residential and leisure facilities with road improvements gradually being made.¹²⁰

Several regeneration projects planned for Mansfield involved mass demolition, but the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent central-government funding cuts and escalating austerity measures deferred them. Mansfield District Council promoted two new developments: Arrival Square, opened 2008,¹²¹ an office block occupied by the Probation Service by the rail station;¹²² and Queen's Place—completed in late 2013—which cost the council £2.4 million. It offered two new ground-floor retail units and six offices in Queen Street between the new transport interchange and the market square.¹²³

Coal mining was the main industry for most of the 20th century; although Mansfield itself does not now show signs of coal mining, a few areas near the town still do. A violent episode in the UK miners' strike (1984–1985) occurred in Mansfield on May Day in 1984.¹²⁴ Most of the area's miners had voted against a strike, but the local union initially maintained that the strike was official to show solidarity with strikers in other areas. When the coal board granted an extra day of leave after the bank holiday, a group of working miners confronted union officials and violence broke out with striking miners.¹²⁴ Mansfield later hosted a breakaway union, the Union of Democratic Mineworkers, which recruited many who had opposed the 1984–1985 strike.¹²⁵ The Coal Authority is based in Mansfield, and the larger than lifesize statue Tribute to the British Miner by Nikolaos Kotziamanis was erected in 2003 to honour the town's mining heritage.¹²⁶

As demand for coal fell, Mansfield's pits wound down and miners had to find other work. The headstocks close to the village of Clipstone are an important local landmark and said to be the highest in Europe.¹²⁷ Community groups are trying to preserve them as a reminder of the area's mining history.^127128129

A few streets in and around the town form long rows of terraced houses reminiscent of the affordable housing provided for mine workers in the prime of the industry. Many were demolished in 2012 in Pleasley Hill, Market Warsop and elsewhere; new houses have been built since in this area of Pleasley Hill.¹³⁰

Mansfield Brewery was best known for Mansfield Bitter and its advertising slogan "Not much matches Mansfield", which was later used as the title of a play by Kevin Fegan set in the town.¹³¹ In the 1980s, the brewery ran adverts referencing the achievements of contemporary world figures such as Ronald Reagan with the slogan "but he's never had a pint of Mansfield."¹³²¹³³ The brewery was acquired in 1999 by Wolverhampton & Dudley Breweries,¹³⁴ and closed in 2002. Most of the site was redeveloped as housing,¹³⁵ while the ornate office building, Chadburn House, is now office space for businesses, including the local newspaper,¹³⁶ and a micro brewery with a cafe and bar.¹³⁷ The site is now owned by Vision West Nottinghamshire College, a further education college, which uses it to deliver construction courses and training.

Mansfield's old-established soft drink manufacturer, R.L. Jones, with brand names Sunecta and Mandora, was bought by Mansfield Brewery in 1977.¹⁰⁹ A move to a modern factory in Bellamy Road in 1975 released land projected for a high-density housing development, known as Layton Burroughs.¹⁰⁹ Mansfield Brewery sold the business in 1988 for £21.5 million to the Scottish drinks company A.G. Barr plc, producer of Irn-Bru, Tizer and Mandora;¹⁰⁹ at the time, the firm employed 400 people. Production ceased there in January 2011, when A.G. Barr moved production to other sites.¹³⁸¹³⁹

Mansfield lies on the Robin Hood Line, which connects the town with Nottingham and Worksop; the line was opened in 1995. East Midlands Railway operates generally hourly services in each direction.¹⁴⁰

The M1 motorway lies west of Mansfield. It is 6.8 miles (10.9 km) from junction 29 at Heath, Derbyshire for traffic from the north and Chesterfield, and 7.7 miles (12.4 km) from junction 27 at Annesley for traffic from the south.

The A60 road runs north–south through Mansfield, between Nottingham and Worksop. The A617 road skirts around the town, providing a road link eastwards towards Newark-on-Trent, as well as westwards towards Chesterfield and the M1.

The A38 road, the longest two-digit A-road in Great Britain, terminates at Mansfield and provides the town with a direct link to Derby and continues to Bodmin, Cornwall via Birmingham, Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol amongst other places.

Bus services are operated mainly by Stagecoach East Midlands; Trent Barton and National Express also work the area. Routes connect the town with Nottingham, Alfreton, Chesterfield, Rainworth and Worksop.¹⁴¹

The new Mansfield bus station was opened in 2013, replacing one dating from 1977, near to the railway station as part of the Gateway to Mansfield scheme,¹⁴²¹⁴³

Fisher Lane Park stretches from the top of Littleworth to Rock Hill. It is popular with dog walkers and kite flyers and, since the installation of a concrete skate plaza, with skaters. In the summer, children's rides and stalls are set up in the park.

Carr Bank Park has a rocky grotto, a bandstand and summer flower beds. It has a war memorial built of local sandstone, dedicated to soldiers killed in action since the end of the Second World War, to complement the original setting unveiled after the First World War in 1921.¹⁴⁹

Berry Hill and King George V parks are also in the town. Mansfield lies a few miles from Sherwood Forest, a Royal forest famous for its links with Robin Hood. Mansfield used to have a tree and a plaque mounted on a plinth in West Gate to mark what was the centre of Sherwood Forest. Nearby was a giant metallic feather sculpture dating from 2007, named A Spire for Mansfield.

The old Carnegie library, founded in 1905 in Leeming Street, became an arts and performance centre in 1976.¹⁶⁷ It houses a recording studio, meeting room and the 100-seat Studio Theatre.¹⁶⁸

Mansfield also has a large Odeon cinema on a new retail and entertainment park outside the town centre.¹⁶⁹ The previous ABC town centre cinema was used as a snooker centre until closure in 2012;¹⁷⁰ late in 2013 it was converted into a church.¹⁷¹

Every summer, Mansfield District Council hosts a Summer in the Streets festival. This consists of various public events held all across the town over many days, such as children's entertainment, fairground rides in the market square and hands-on workshops for crafts and circus skills.

The Armed Forces Day, takes place every year in June, and provides the community a chance to say thank you to those who serve or have served in the armed forces.¹⁷²

The festival highlight is a final event in Titchfield Park called Party in the Park. Its range of entertainment includes live music acts by local bands, performances from local dance groups and activities such as face painting. For 2012 and 2013, this culminating event was cancelled for austerity reasons.¹⁷³¹⁷⁴

Mansfield was home to Venue 44,¹⁷⁵ a nightclub that gave birth to the superclub Renaissance, which was operated there in 1992–1994 by Geoff Oakes¹⁷⁶ and launched DJs Sasha, John Digweed and Nigel Dawson¹⁷⁷ and Ian Ossia to global fame.¹⁷⁸ The building was demolished in 2010.

The Intake, a live-music venue in Kirkland Avenue, closed in 2016.¹⁷⁹ The Town Mill, a former waterside mill on the banks of the Maun at the edge of the town centre, was turned into a pub and live music venue in 2002; it closed in 2010, citing the smoking ban, rising beer prices and recession among its reasons for failure.¹⁸⁰

The local newspapers are the Chad¹⁸¹ (formerly Chronicle Advertiser) and Mansfield and Ashfield News Journal, a community newspaper.

Radio stations include Mansfield 103.2, BBC Radio Nottingham and Capital Midlands.

Television coverage is provided by BBC East Midlands Today and ITV News Central; BBC Look North also covers Mansfield.

Mansfield has two indoor swimming centres, with a third smaller pool attached to a school.¹⁸⁶ These facilities give Mansfield the largest square meterage of indoor water-sports facilities per capita of any town in the United Kingdom with less than 100,000 inhabitants. The town is one of three outlets for the Nottinghamshire County Council Swim Squad, which competes as Nova Centurion. The Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre at Sherwood Swimming Baths includes a 25-metre pool and an endless stroke-improvement training pool with variable-resistance water flow.

At the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, a Mansfield contestant, Rebecca Adlington, won two gold medals in 400 and 800-metre freestyle swimming. After her record-breaking success, she was welcomed home by thousands lining the streets to applaud as she passed in an open top bus. This culminated in an appearance at the Old Town Hall in the Market Square. Her success boosted swimming interest in the area, leading to expansion of swimming classes to encourage young people to begin swimming. At the 2012 Olympic Games in and around London, Adlington won two bronze medals in the 400 and 800 metres, the best performance of the Team GB swimming squad. She retired from competitive swimming in February 2013.¹⁸⁹

The main cemetery and crematorium occupy a 10 acres (4.0 hectares) site accessed from Derby Road, on the southern edge of town near the boundary with Ashfield;¹⁹² they share a car park. In late 2015, Mansfield District Council recognised the need for additional spaces and planning consent was obtained.¹⁹³ The older part of the cemetery, fronting Nottingham Road and Forest Hill (the old Derby Road) has on-street parking; site access on foot can be hard due to the steep slope.¹⁹²

The cemetery was opened in 1857; due to insufficient church graveyard space,¹⁹² the mid-to-late Victorian population growth and several then-new churches built with little or no dedicated graveyard areas.^194195196 A ten-acre extension was made in 1898.¹⁹² Registered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as 'Nottingham Road Cemetery', it contains the war graves of 51 Commonwealth service personnel of World War I and 45 from World War II.¹⁹⁷
