Love to shop As the home of Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood, we’ve got an enviable reputation in the shopping stakes. Nottingham boasts a huge range of designers and high-street brands, yet it’s the smaller stores that earned the city its national reputation – explore the world of boutiques, book stores and cafés.
Nottingham continues to build its reputation as a national centre for the arts. In 2015, Nottingham was named as a UNESCO World City of Literature, alongside Barcelona, Baghdad, and Montevideo. Nottingham Contemporary is one of the largest art spaces in the UK, and holds major exhibitions throughout the year. For movie lovers, there are modern multiplexes, as well as the Broadway – one of the UK’s most acclaimed independent cinemas. World-renowned touring companies perform at the Nottingham Playhouse and the Theatre Royal, while the Royal Concert Hall attracts major stars from comedy and music. Culture Visitors from all over the world are attracted to the city by the legend of Robin Hood. There’s plenty of other places of historical interest to visit too, including Nottingham Castle, Southwell Minster, Wollaton Hall, and Newstead Abbey – home of the celebrated writer and poet, Lord Byron. Sporting city In 2015, VisitEngland named Nottingham the UK’s Home of Sport. From Brian Clough to Carl Froch, and Torvill and Dean to Rebecca Adlington, this is a city of legends. Today, Nottingham has more sporting facilities per head than any other city in Europe.

Nottingham’s legal history Dating back to the 14th Century, the Galleries of Justice housed a Victorian courtroom, gaol and police station. Having closed as a courtroom in 1986, this location is now home to the Nottingham Galleries of Justice Museum – a popular tourist destination detailing Britain’s crime and punishment history through the ages.
