Things to do in Nottingham

THT · 5 Oct 2009 at 14:57

Right, Taking the gf on a mini break and got things to do in all the places we are going except nottingham.
Ive had a look on tripadvisor and wozzon, but nothing springs out.

We are going at the end of january next year. Wanted to go on the outdoor ice rink, but its gone by then.

Any ideas or hidden gems?

Leave?

Hmm...

I live here and I can't really think of anything. Other than generic touristy stuff like visiting the castle, or the robin hood museum (or whatever they're calling it these days).

If you're up for some pub-time, you could visit Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem. One of the oldest pubs in the country. Not much of a tourist attraction though...

Ha!

You joke, but that happened to me around this time last year

Avoid poorly lit roads.

There's a decent cocktail bar near the Nottingham Arena but I can't remember what it was called

The Caves:

The Malt Cross pub is really nice and relaxed in the town centre. Great food too:

Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem pub for a real ale:

Wander in Sherwood Forest?

Go see some music? Check listings for Rescue Rooms, Rock City, Bodega Social Club, etc.

Is it day or night time stuff you wanna do?
End of Jan is pretty cold, so it could exclude quite a few things i guess.
How long you gonna be here for?

Best thing about Nottingham, was the Hard Rock Cafe, but now that has gone I seldom visit.

Stealth \o/ has the best music in the city

Banzai_Joe · 5 Oct 2009 at 15:26

Daytime = Galleries of Justice/ice skating?
Early eve = Cornerhouse for Cinema, then go to Flaming Dragon for all you can eat Chinese buffet £13 per head. Then upstairs to Sal****er to get w***ered! Then back to hotel for some monkey luvvin'!

with one of the very best m/f ratios (in YOUR favour) in the country - I would ditch the gf and try your luck around town - always good fun!
