Designer chic
To get a look straight from the pages of a
glossy magazine you’re spoilt for choice in
Nottingham. As well as two Paul Smith
shops there are also stores for Hugo Boss,
Ted Baker and Vivienne Westwood. The
area around Bridlesmith Gate is a hotspot
for designer chic but you’ll also discover
leading labels in all the city’s major
department stores such as House of Fraser
and John Lewis.
Independently minded
Nottingham prides itself on having many
thriving independent shops covering a
range of things from vintage clothing to
retro home decoration. They’re a good
place to start if you’re looking for
something a little bit different, stylish or
quirky for your home or wardrobe. There
are hidden treasures to be unearthed by
heading off the beaten track into Hockley
or along Derby Road and delving into
many of the city’s boutiques.
Shopping

Nottingham has shops to suit all tastes and meet every need.
A wealth of big department stores, high street favourites, leading
designers and bohemian boutiques are just waiting to be discovered.

City of
history
A way
with words
Literary legends such as
DH Lawrence, Lord Byron
and Alan Sillitoe all grew
up and worked around
Nottingham. The city
and its people inspiring
many of their most
famous works.
Nottingham began life as a Roman settlement that has grown and changed
dramatically over the centuries. Its past is etched on the streets and in
architecture, waiting to be found as long as you know where to look.
12
Step back in time
The Castle (main picture) sitting atop
Castle Rock has played a major role in
much of the city’s history. Famed as the
stronghold of Robin Hood’s arch nemesis
the Sheriff of Nottingham, its medieval
walls and dungeons are testament to
a dark past. It was also here that
Charles I raised his Royal
Standard marking the start of
the English Civil War. His
subsequent defeat led to
Republican forces
destroying much of the
original castle to prevent it
from being used as a seat of
Royal power again. In the
shadow of the castle is the Museum
of Nottingham Life at Brewhouse Yard
(pictured left) which traces what it was like
to live in the city over the last 300 years.
Bringing the past to life
Head over to the Lace Market area of the
city to discover many of the old lace mills
that sprung up during the industrial
revolution and made the city’s fortunes.
The factories have since moved on but
it’s here you can find the Galleries of
Justice Museum dedicated to crime and
punishment through the ages. Nottingham
sits upon sandstone bedrock and there are
miles of caves running below the city’s
streets. The City of Caves in Broadmarsh
gives you a glimpse of this subterranean
world where people once lived and worked.
It’s easy to miss a lot of sights and places
while exploring the city by yourself, but by
going on one of the many walking tours of
Nottingham you’ll be introduced to
many hidden and forgotten stories
from the past. Ask at the Nottingham
tourism centre to find out more.

Sky’s the limit
Anish Kapoor’s Sky Mirror
sculpture (pictured above)
beside the Nottingham
Playhouse was unveiled in 2001.
A larger version of the Sky
Mirror has also been
exhibited around the world,
including at New York’s
famous Rockefeller Plaza.
Two of the UK’s newest art galleries can
be found in the city. Nottingham
Contemporary (main picture) exhibits
work by major British and international
artists all year round. Free to visit, the
striking modern building on the edge of
the Lace Market has spacious galleries, a
cool café and regular events, even for kids.
The city’s other new gallery is the New Art
Exchange. A short tram ride from the
Contemporary it specialises in the work of
leading and up-and-coming ethnic artists
as well as supporting the local community.
More traditional forms of art can be found
at Nottingham Castle, which has a
permanent collection of ceramics and
classic paintings as well as hosting regular
exhibitions.
Big performances
The city has many theatres ranging from
small independents like the Lace Market
Theatre and Nottingham Arts Theatre to
the bigger Theatre Royal (pictured) and
Nottingham Playhouse. The Playhouse
stages many new and original plays while
the Theatre Royal also hosts a lot of major
touring productions encompassing
everything from Shakespeare to
pantomime. The Royal Centre is one of the
city’s main music venues and is a regular
stop for leading artists. It’s also a great
venue for ballet and classical music. If you
fancy something a bit bigger in scale the
Trent FM Arena has a capacity of over
10,000 people and has seen many major
international tours pass through its doors.
If you prefer a laugh then try out one of
Nottingham’s many comedy clubs. Just the
Tonic at the Cornerhouse is the city’s
longest running club and regularly
attracts big name comedians.

A world of sport
What’s on in Nottingham 2011
From the best in British art to a beach in the middle of the city, 2011 is
packed with great things to see and do.
Nottingham has a great sporting heritage, playing host
to world class football and cricket, with plenty more
opportunities to get active.
Nottingham’s sporting pedigree is represented
by the triumphant statue of Brian Clough in
Old Market Square. The city’s a great place to
watch national and international events. The
National Ice Centre is home to the Nottingham
Panthers ice hockey team, the British Speed
Skating team and it’s a great place
to go if you love ice skating.
The city is also home to the
world’s oldest football club
Notts County, and former
double European Cup champions
Nottingham Forest.
January
The world famous Trent
Bridge cricket ground
regularly hosts national and
international matches, while the National
Water Sports Centre is a world class centre for
professionals and amateurs to enjoy white
water rafting, canoeing and sailing.
While the National Ice Centre is a short walk
from the city centre, many of Nottingham’s
major sporting venues can be found just south
east of the centre in the suburb of West
Bridgford. This part of the city is home to
Trent Bridge and the two football grounds.
Here you’ll also find a great selection of bars,
restaurants and places to stay.
Getting there
Get to West Bridgford
and the city’s main sporting
venues with a short trip by bus or
taxi from the centre.
For buses to Trent Bridge take the
NCT Green Line 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,

Nottingham city centre has been divided into five zones. Here is a brief guide
to the key attractions and places of interest you’ll find in each.
Royal zone
At the heart of this zone is the Royal
Centre, comprising the splendid
Theatre Royal which dates back to
1865, alongside the more modern Royal
Concert Hall. Nearby are The Cornerhouse
and Trinity Square developments offering
a variety of leisure venues including a
multi-screen cinema, bars and restaurants.
There is a wide range of shopping, drinking
and dining throughout the area, which also
plays host to two of Nottingham’s major
centres of learning, Nottingham Trent
University and Nottingham High School.
Victoria zone
Shopping dominates this zone which
was once home to the city’s Great
Central and Great Northern railway
lines. The Clock Tower of the former Victoria
Railway Station was preserved and now
marks one of the entrances to the modern day
Victoria Centre.
Next to the shopping centre is the original
Victoria Hotel - now the Hilton Nottingham which accompanied the former station.
Castle zone
Within the impressive walls that
once surrounded the original
medieval Nottingham Castle is a
magnificent 17th century ducal mansion with
wonderful views over the Castle zone and the
entire city centre.
The iconic statue of Robin Hood stands
outside the castle walls just downhill from the
Castle’s 13th century gatehouse. There is also
much to see and do at the Nottingham Castle
Museum and Art Gallery inside the Castle.
Many other historic buildings and fine
architecture can also be found in the area,
particularly along Castle Gate and in Old
Market Square, and there is a wide selection
of food, drink and leisure venues nearby.
Lace Market zone
Now part of Nottingham’s proud
heritage, the Lace Market was at the
forefront of UK lace design and
manufacturing throughout the 18th century
when there were more than 130 lace factories
in this area of the city.
Today the magnificent lace and textile
factories have been converted into specialist
shops, restaurants, cafés and bars, offices,
apartments and the city campus of New
College Nottingham.
The award winning Galleries of Justice
Museum, Nottingham Contemporary art
gallery and the National Ice Centre are also in
this area.
Broadmarsh zone
The Broadmarsh zone is the
gateway to the city centre for many
visitors to Nottingham, with
Nottingham Station and Broadmarsh Bus
Station situated here. There are lots of places
to shop in this zone, particularly in the
Broadmarsh Shopping Centre, entered from
Collin Street, Lister Gate and Middle
Pavement.
As well as taking advantage of the excellent
shopping, enjoy a stroll along the canal at
Castle Wharf and relax at one of the many
waterside bars and restaurants.
Nottingham
Navigator has been
jointly funded by
Nottingham City
Council, Greater Nottingham Partnership and
East Midlands Development Agency.
Nottingham City Council gratefully acknowledges
the contributions from many organisations and
individuals in the making of the street panels.
Nottingham Navigator was designed by
Streetwise Orientation & Navigation Systems,

Travelling into and around
Nottingham city centre
Take a walk
Nottingham has great pedestrianised streets and
a compact centre that makes it easy to stroll
around. Meaning you can walk across the centre
in less than 20 minutes.
Hop on a bus
Nottingham City Transport (NCT) and Trent
Barton buses both run a wide range of services
into and around the city. The main hubs for
Nottingham City Transport buses are located in
Old Market Square, Parliament Street and
Milton Street beside the Victoria Centre. The
best places to catch a Trent Barton bus are
Broadmarsh Bus Station, Victoria Bus Station
and on Friar Lane just off Old Market Square.

Centre in Old Market Square or:

The NET trams provide a quick and easy way to
get across Nottingham. They travel as far as
Hucknall and serve a number of park and ride
car parks. There are five stops in the city centre
and it takes less than eight minutes to travel
across town.

Car parking
Eight park and ride spots offer convenient
access to the city with over 3,000 spaces.
It’s also free to park at any of the five NET
park and ride sites when you use the tram.
In the city centre there are 15,000 secure
parking spaces and a further 1,500 on street. All
major car parks are clearly signposted on the
main approach roads into Nottingham.
ParkSmart/Nottingham Navigator
Nottingham City Council has divided the city
centre into five distinctive zones, each
represented by a unique colour and symbol:
Royal - The Royal Centre, The
Cornerhouse and Old Market Square
Castle - Nottingham Castle, Maid
Marian Way and Old Market Square
Broadmarsh - Westfield Broadmarsh
and the south of the city centre
Lace Market - Lace Market, Hockley
and Trent FM Arena Nottingham
Victoria - Victoria Centre and the north
of the city centre
These symbols can be seen on road signs and
street panels around the city, so that motorists
and pedestrians can identify which area they’re
in. Electronic signs on routes into the city also
display the latest information about available
parking spaces, traffic waiting times, incidents,
congestion and nearby park and ride facilities.
Allowing you to avoid hold ups and find a
parking space quickly. See the page opposite
for more details.
