Dee’s review
SO highly recommended.
I’d been moving furniture around for two days, and I was feeling sore and fed up. I’ve had many therapeutic massages before, and this was one of the best. Definitely an effective deep tissue massage. It just erased my lower back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Melanie has a medical background and often works with people who have disabilities. It was obvious that she knew what she was doing, including how to deal with my artificial hip and the issues it creates. Thanks, Melanie!
Book with Melanie.

Back by popular demand, we are bringing back our introduction to screen printing alongside rainbow mono printing as a colourful celebration following the Nottingham Pride march this month. You will use simple stencil techniques using both processes in an experimental way guided by Sarah and Clare. you don’t need any prior Art experience, just a willingness to experiment and some protective clothing!

You will need to provide your own aprons or protective clothing. If you wish to print onto anything specific, you need to also bring that. We will be providing pre-cut stencils due to time restraint; however, you can bring your own templates if you have a strong desire to print your own design.

Come one, come all! August’s pop-up dining room will feature Melanie’s singing debut with the Light Disciples!
£4 Ticket = Cocktail + Reservation (£5-£7 at the door)
Your cocktail ticket(s) will be reserved under the name and for the time you indicate below. You can choose how many £4 cocktails you want once you click the “Pay Now” button. Payments are handled by Paypal. If some of the people in your party would prefer other types of drinks, please indicate the total number of people in the ‘reservation: name and time’ field and the no-cocktail people can pay for their drinks at the door.
You can bring food in – probably from the food trucks on the square, but your own food is okay too. All cocktails and mocktails will be vegan-friendly. MinorOak will be set up as a restaurant dining room: a comfy place to sit and eat with drinks and live music.
Sneinton Market Fridays: the first Friday of every month during the warmer months, and the next one is coming up fast. These are great events with a fabulous vibe!
There will be food trucks and market stalls on the square, but limited seating – and not very comfy. Earlier this summer, I found myself deciding against getting dinner from a food truck because I wanted to sit down and have a nice, pleasant, chatty dinner – not be stuck standing in the square, trying to juggle take-out containers, cutlery and a drink.
Here’s the solution: On Sneinton Market Fridays, MinorOak is a pop-up dining room. Our front room will be set up like a pop-up restaurant, and…
- MinorOak’s Cocktail Lab was a hit on Light Night, and we’re bringing it back!
- The Light Disciples have a chilled sound that’s perfect for a Friday night in Sneinton Market. They’ll be providing live music at MinorOak!
Buy cocktails in advance for £4 (£5 to £7 value). Buy multiple advance cocktails and send me a message (Dee: dee@minoroak.com), and I can reserve a table for you if you let me know your preferred time and number of people.
Cheers, and meet you at the MinorOak!

You will meet a variety of local experts and have an opportunity for a short chat with each one. You’ll be able to review their portfolios in advance, as well.
MinorOak will provide space for casual chats and semi-private meetings, as well as fast wifi. You can show the work you need done and see what they have to offer, online and on the spot.

We’d like to introduce you to a variety of local small businesses. We’re focusing on companies from a mix of industries with five to 50 employees: hopefully large enough to be stable clients, but small enough to lack in-house expertise.

We’re aiming for a mix of:
- Website designers and developers
- Copywriters and ghostwriters
- Photographers and videographers
- Consultants that offer training on topics like disability access and website DIY
- Website marketing and Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) experts

RESCUE AND REUSE
This market is for Nott’s community of needlework artists and hobbyists.
FOR BUYERS: It’s an opportunity to get ready for the crafting season with incredible bargains on the supplies you want and need. You can feel good about reusing rather than buying new. There will be pre-purchased and gently used items available, and who knows what you’ll find!
FOR SELLERS: This market will give you a chance to refocus, clean up shop and give others the opportunity to buy wool, yarn, and supplies that you no longer have a place for. Please e-mail dee@minoroak.com or use the website contact form if you’d like to be a seller.
FOR EVERYONE: This is going to be more than just a market. It will be a community event. We’ll have tables set up on Avenue A for sitting and visiting if the weather is nice, and free coffee, tea and snacks. The meeting room will be converted into a lounge.
MinorOak’s ground floor is wheelchair accessible and has a wheelchair accessible toilet.
This event is, of course, free of charge. You can let us know you’re coming on the Facebook Event. You can also join the Facebook Group if you’d like to have a say and be kept informed as we develop more events.
