One of the city’s top tourist attractions, the site is also home to a museum and art gallery, and sits in six acres of beautiful Victorian-inspired gardens.

DH Lawrence Birthplace Museum

Lovers of literature are in for a real treat at the birthplace of author DH Lawrence.

Things to do for kids

Enchant them with a day in the forest

For an unforgettable family day out, a visit to Sherwood Forest is a must when visiting Nottingham. The spectacular forest of legend has enchanted people the world over for generations. On your adventure, you’ll find clusters of country parks, stately homes and a nature reserve. A whole day can be spent exploring the forest and its many hidden delights.

Nottingham is packed with galleries and museums where you can have a fun day out with the family. New Art Exchange is a stylish modern art gallery with special family days, art clubs and children’s workshops outside of term time.

Let them explore underground caves

No day out in Nottingham is complete without a trip to the City of Caves, a popular family-friendly attraction. Nottingham is built on top of a network of caves, and a fun-filled few hours can be spent exploring the labyrinth of former homes, work spaces, nooks and crannies. With special children’s activities and a fantastic audio tour, this attraction offers an experience to remember.

Nottingham in one day

Discover the man, the myth, the legend

Some of Nottingham’s most famous tourist sites are centred on Robin Hood, the city’s folk hero immortalised by Hollywood.

Outside the city, explore the legendary Sherwood Forest and the Major Oak tree associated with the Robin Hood legend.

Ride the tram for a sweeping vista

Nottingham is blessed with a modern tram system, the Nottingham Express Transit, which is fantastic for getting around at affordable prices. See the city blur past from the comfort of your seat, and hop on and off at key destinations like Old Market Square and the Lace Market.

The Lace Market neighbourhood shows Nottingham at its boho best. Spend some time in this fascinating district where former warehouses and salesrooms have since been transformed into bars, restaurants and shops. Attractions include the Nottingham Justice Museum and Motorpoint Arena Nottingham.

Hidden gems

Lost Property

Nestled deep in a Hockley alleyway, we do mean hidden when it comes to the gem that is Lost Property. This quirky bar is laden with old suitcases and luggage tags from former guests. Be sure to head down into the cave area for a completely unique drinking experience.
