Nottingham Events

It’s no surprise to hear that for such a vibrant city as Nottingham that there are plenty of events and attractions to visit and experience in your time living at our luxury Nottingham student accommodation. Nottingham is also a place that has a rich tradition of live comedy, and is home to some brilliant live comedy venues that will get you belly laughing for hours at a time, such as The Glee Club, Jongleurs, and Just the Tonic. They are all places where you can expect to see great up-and-coming talent alongside touring comedic acts. Theatre Royal and the Nottingham Playhouse are both great examples of theatre, live music, and comedy, whilst amateur plays can be seen at the Lace Market Theatre.

You’ll see the name Robin Hood wherever you go in Nottingham, and it is something you’ll quickly learn to love and embrace as a student living in the city. The legendary outlaw has his name on so many different aspects of the city and The Robin Hood Tour is a fantastic way to learn more about the legend and the myths surrounding the figure, but is also a fantastic way to get to know the city a little better when you first move here. Sherwood Forest is just outside the city and is a major regional tourist attraction, and The Robin Hood Festival celebrates medieval times each year, with music, entertainment, food and drink from the time.

For a pleasant outdoor experience there is plenty of lush green spaces in and around Nottingham. Arboretum Park is a fantastic place to sit down and relax in nature after a hard shift of work in the university library. Just on the outskirts is the Peak District National Park and the legendary Sherwood Forest provide some fantastic locations to explore hiking trails, to cycle, and to run, and to just get away into nature for a while and blow away the cobwebs. Another stunning location to visit is Wollaton Hall (which was used as the location for Wayne Manor in the Dark Knight Rises Batman Film).

Nottingham is also home to many festivals and events each year, with Dot-to-Dot Festival highly regarded as one of the best city music festivals in the UK, where good bands can be seen playing in relatively small, and unusual venues throughout the city that might not usually be used for music or live performances of any kind. The Splendour Festival on the other hand is a great big outdoor festival that plays hosts to all sorts of entertainment, including bands of all sizes, from local unsigned bands to large bands nationally-recognised.

Special mention must go to a few other festivals in Nottingham, including the D. H. Lawrence Festival, Nottingham Poetry Festival, and Mayhem (which is a horror and cult film festival bringing the best and the weirdest of the horror film genre to the city). Your luxury student accommodation in Nottingham is close to all of these events and all attractions in the city.
