Then venture out to visit one of Nottinghamshire’s great attractions, whether it’s Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve, Clumber Park, Creswell Crags or Newstead Abbey – you won’t be disappointed.
A fun packed afternoon
Nottinghamshire is a great place to enjoy great outdoor activities with cycling at Sherwood Pines, white water rafting at the National Water Sports Centre or archery at either the Adrenalin Jungle or the One 4 All Group.
Or alternatively, a relaxing afternoon
If the above isn't your type of thing, then why not relax and take in some arts and crafts. Visit the coffee shops and enjoy some local crafts at places like Sherwood Forest Art and Craft Centre in Edwinstowe or at Thoresby Courtyard or visit Patchings Art Centre at Calverton.
Sample the city’s great nightlife
With over 300 bars and restaurants in the city and many more throughout the county you’ll always find something to suit your tastes. Enjoy a comedy gig, live music or an enthralling theatre performance. Or dance the night away at a late bar or club.
