This event is a celebration of the popular "Notts Labcache Pool" project.
There may be even be a new cache released to mark the occasion.
The Notts Labcache "lab-art" series is located at East Leake, South Nottinghamshire (N52° 49.946 W001° 10.674) where all stage coordinates are concentrated into a public parking area, with a generous 500 m "geofence" radius. This means all stages can be logged anywhere within an area covering the main village, giving a good choice from where to play the labs including the car park itself, the adjacent play park and exercise area, three nearby cafés (including the event venue), three pubs plus a micro-pub, two restaurants or Meadow Park where pets can be exercised. There are public conveniences opposite the car park and a good choice of food outlets nearby.
The Notts Labs are an 11 minute drive (under 6 miles) from M1 J24 and on a main bus route between Nottingham and Loughborough (details from: Nottingham City Transport), which has stops at both Nottingham and Loughborough main-line railway stations. For international visitors, East Midlands Airport is just a 15 minute, 8 mile drive.
Please note from 6 October 2025 the A6006 between Rempstone and Hathern is closed around the Sutton Bonington / Zouch area for a significant period of time while the bridge over the railway is replaced. A few back roads are also closed. Please allow extra time for your journey. If coming from the West take the road from Kegworth to West Leake then to East Leake. If coming from the South go via Loughborough / Hoton / Rempstone. Approaches from the North and East are generally not affected apart from back road closures.
Anyone interested in contributing Labs to the series, or would just like to have details, please contact the Notts Admins via their profile or by direct email: notts.labcaches@gmail.com
Everyone is welcome to attend the event, whether already involved in the project or not. Newcomers to caching and/or events are particularly welcome - we are happy to answer questions and offer help.
DOGS are welcome, but you will need to sit with them in the outside seating area.
There is ample free parking next to the venue and across the road. The event is an opportunity to play the new Adventure Labs, share caching adventures and swap trackables. Please note that the second car park across the road now has a 2 hour time limit
The event venue is "Bryer's Bar + Kitchen" on Gotham Road in East Leake - drinks, cakes, hot food and snacks are available. Purchase of food and drinks is optional and not a requirement to attend the event.
