What is there to do in Nottingham in our free time?

Nottingham boasts a whole host of attractions, arguably the most famous being Nottingham Castle which is home to the Robin Hood statue. However, this isn’t all Nottingham has to offer with its range of museums, art galleries, theatres, parks, and more. Coupled with a range of designer, high street and independent shops located in the city centre as well as the Victoria Centre and Westfield Broadmarsh, you will be hard pushed to decide what to do with your free time! In the evenings why not sample the variety of restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs from the cosmopolitan Chapel Quarter to the Old Market Square, or why not visit some of the oldest pubs in England in the Castle area. There are many websites which offer further information. These are some of our favourites:

• Tourist information for Nottinghamshire

• 'Beer in the evening' - pubs in Nottingham
• Places to go in Nottingham
