Things to do in Nottingham

shopping

Water Fun

The city of Nottingham has a busy and vibrant waterfront district, based around the Nottingham & Beeston Canal and the River Trent. Enjoy an evening hen party cruise along the waters or even opt for a walk around the tow path stopping off for the odd cafe or two!

Recording Studio

Record the song of the weekend which could even be good enough (or funny enough) to play at the wedding! A great way to spend a few hour.

Escape the Room

Fancy being locked in a room with your mates with the only chance of release being to solve some challenging clues? Enjoy an hour of competitive banter and mind bending puzzles!

Nottingham Castle & Caves

The history of Nottingham Castle is chequered with sieges, murders and intrigue and well worth a visit. Don’t miss the award-winning cave tours which last about 30 minutes and take you down into the passageways and tunnels beneath the building

Wollaton Hall & Park

Since Wollaton Hall opened to the public in 1926, it has been home to the city’s natural history museum. Amble round the amazing house and grounds or take a 3 mile walk along the designated pathway (you can even do it by segway if you don’t fancy the walk!).
