Nottingham nightlife
-
Nottingham offers a variety of music to satisfy everyone on any day of the week, and an enjoyable night out is guaranteed. If you like some familiarity from your hometown then visit Pryzm for well-known DJ’s. Or visit Stealth on a Tuesday if drum and bass is your favourite. For students Wednesday night is societies night, so you certainly won’t find yourself staying in on this evening. For top hits and R&B music then you’ll love Crisis or if you enjoy fancy dress then Ocean will be your go to.
If clubbing isn’t your thing, then don’t worry! Nottingham has a range of pubs and bars including Calluna, which offers a lively atmosphere, Pepper Rocks or the iconic Canal House if you prefer a cosier and more intimate vibe.
Nottingham is known for frequently hosting an array of events such as Cirque du Soul, Detonate and regular concerts from your favourite artists. So, gather all your friends and be prepared to dance the week away.
Nottingham has everything you could ask for in a city, without being too large or busy, like Birmingham or London. Public transport links are amazing, and it’s very easy to get across the city quickly.
