Hello Nottingham
Whether you’re chasing the legend of one of the UK’s most infamous outlaws, taking in some shopping amongst stunning Victorian architecture or heading to some sort of sporting event, Nottingham has everything you need for a fabulous few days away.
Located right in the heart of the Midlands, just 110 miles from London, Nottingham is packed with things to do. Home to loads of sports, with multiple football teams, cricket grounds, and more. It’s also a city that understands its rich past, from the stories around Robin Hood to the cave network that runs under part of the city and its castle.
Whether you’re exploring, working, or meeting up with friends, Nottingham has tonnes to offer.
Top 5 things to do in Nottingham
1. Sherwood Forest – Just outside Nottingham is one of the UK’s most famous forests. Home to sites from across the various tales of Robin Hood, Sherwood Forest is a stunning place to wander around.
2. Lace Market – These fantastic Victorian buildings are filled with bars, restaurants, and shops, perfect for spending a day indulging in some retail therapy or catching up with friends.
3. Nottingham Castle – Very few Robin Hood stories end without some sort of climax at a castle. So why not visit the one that inspired them?
4. Trent Bridge – One of the UK’s most well-known cricket grounds, Trent Bridge is home to a fantastic atmosphere whether you’re there for a gig, a test match or a one-day tournament.
5. Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem – Allegedly one of the UK’s oldest pubs, dating back to the 1100’s this is one of the quirkiest places to grab a pint as it’s partially built into the cave network that runs under Nottingham Castle.
Parking in Nottingham
Finding somewhere to park in a busy city can be difficult, especially when you’re competing for space with workers, visitors, students and everyone else going about their day.
There might be plenty of parking available, but during busy periods those spaces fill up quickly. This means you either have to go elsewhere or potentially pay over the odds for parking.
Finding somewhere to park, and somewhere affordable are very different things, with city centre parking being notoriously pricey across the UK, not just in Nottingham. Luckily, we can help.
Using our Evology Parking app we can help you easily find secure, affordable parking across the city.
