Our guest writer Penny, who lives there, has narrowed down the best things to do in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, so you can have the best day out in the city when you visit. Days Out in Nottinghamshire. By Penny Reeve. Ever since she was a kid Penny has lived to travel, whether it’s far off countries or spending time closer to home visiting sweet spots around the UK. She calls Nottingham home, where she works in Digital Communications and lives with her best friend and a couple of weird but generally pretty awesome cats. Travel down any touristy street, in any part of the world, and tell people you’re from Nottingham and they’ll say just one thing, ‘Robin Hood!’ Yes, there is debate that the robber of the rich was from around Nottingham (we’ll not get started on Sheffield’s frankly tedious claim to fame) but Nottingham is so much more than the man in tights. So let me show you just a few of the interesting things you can do in Nottingham and to enjoy a day out in Nottinghamshire, without mention of the big man. Well, maybe just the one. Your day out in Nottingham. There’s LOADS to see on a day out in Nottingham city centre. How about Nottingham Castle looking out over the entire city, with the art gallery to look round too? The The Museum of Nottingham Life at Brewhouse Yard next door is interesting too. Go to Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub to see the oldest inn in England, and the Robin Hood Experience to hear the history of the biggest Nottingham legend. The City of Caves at the the National Justice Museum shows you what life’s like under Nottingham, while the The Haunted Museum , reveals the lives and legends that haven’t actually managed to leave yet. Go to Green’s Windmill and Science Centre to learn more about the Mill’s important role in Nottingham’s history. The Nottingham Industrial Museum will fill in any gaps. And William Booth’s birthplace is one for the history lovers too. Shopping in Nottingham. As for shopping you can visit the streets surrounding the Old Market Square for some hidden alleyway gems and boutique shops. Then there’s also the Exchange and Flying Horse Walk , the bohemian Hockley and lace market area, and of course, the Victoria Centre . Lots of fun places to spend your money, or just to do a spot of window shopping. Food in Nottingham. If you want somewhere a bit special for lunch or dinner, head to the Castle Wharf with its various bars and restaurants. It’s a lovely place for food and drink on a summer’s day, or even a wintry one too. Nottingham is host to not one but two Michelin-starred restaurants. Sat Bains holds two Michelin stars, and is curiously found under a flyover next to various huge statues of dinosaurs from next door’s dino-themed crazy golf. It’s the perfect way to top off a great day out in Nottinghamshire for adults. The eponymous former chef has been a doyen of the UK’s culinary scene since winning a Roux scholarship and then continuing to win the Great British Menu in 2007. Bains’ menu is always an absolute delight with creations that are out of this world. Book a seat at the chef’s table to chat along with the man himself as he describes the inspirations for his dishes. Then there’s the slightly less eccentrically placed underground venue, Alchemilla. Alchemilla is the brainchild of Alex Bond, who was previously Bains’ chef de partie. Bond now focuses on immaculately presented and delicious veg and, although meat and fish is served and as perfect as you’d expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant, it’s the veg that really stands out. Big things will be coming from Bond so book a place quick and brag to your friends about visiting for years to come. You’re obviously going to have to choose between the two for your ultimate day out in Nottingham, but at least you have options! And a reason to come back. Make sure you book well in advance for these, and bear in mind you’re going to have to fork out some cash! There are another five restaurants favoured by the Michelin Guides, including Bar Iberico’s wonderful tapas and Indian fine dining restaurant Memsaab where Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? presenter Chris Tarrant once threw a knife at a fellow diner. City parks and gardens in Nottingham. If it’s city parks and gardens you like, then try Victoria Embankment or the Arboretum Gardens on the other side of the city. There’s also Highfield Park with its boating lake and adjacent arts centre and play area, Colwick Country Park with Colwick Hall and Nottingham racecourse , or Holme Pierrepont Country Park and watersports centre. More fun things to do in Nottingham. As for fun and games in Nottingham centre, there’s The Lost City , Planet Bounce, Clip n Climb , eight different escape room venues, and Nottingham Ice Arena .
