In Robin Hood County

A visit to the University campus is well worth it as it is one of the greenest places in the town. The lake (boating available in summer) is very beautiful with the old Trent Building crowning the top of the hill. There is also Wollaton Park where there are wild deer and Wollaton House with many portraits and period features.

Nightlife in Nottingham is a varied as you want. For the latest trends visit the Works; Ocean (near the train station) - which in term time runs a cheese night on Tuesdays and 80s night on Thursday; or there’s the infamous ISIS, which is not recommended unless beer goggles are employed. For gay visitors, there’s NG1 and @D2 on Lower Parliament Street with a drag act every Sunday providing good entertainment.

Best Way To Get Around:

There is the main downstairs dance floor, which plays mainstream dance, and an upper, smaller dance floor playing harder music and house which has a go-go dancer on Friday and Saturday. There are two sit-down bar areas: one with no music, Bar Soba, and toilet areas with security staff. Coat check is £1 per item, £2 per bag. Staff is usually friendly. For more info on various nights, check out their website, www.ng1club.co.uk, although the photos make it look a lot bigger than it really is. When leaving, make sure you get a licensed cab and pass one not straight outside the club, as there have been a few (very little but be on the safe side) incidences. Common sense, really. This is a good night out for both gay and straight people, as it is a very mixed crowd, especially on student nights. It usually doesn't get busy till about 11:30pm, but get there before 11pm for cheaper/free entry.
