After a gap of some two years, I went to see Macbeth last night…read more I have been going to this theatre for some 23 years now, and, after a gap of some two years, walked into a time warp! In a good way! It retains it's young, vibrant and exciting atmosphere, making you want to visit just for a drink. The 'pub', now called Cast, has changed dramatically in its' decor since the late sixites but still buzzes with conversation. Shame about the 'music' - FAR too loud. Oh dear; am I getting old?! As for 'That Play'; well it was OK. The weird sisters were portrayed in a very interesting way but I found the acting in general to be rather over the top. But then I'm not an expert! And I didn't want to leave! xx

Run entirely by devoted volunteers, the theatre is committed to performing challenging and interesting plays, recently putting on the first ever showing in Nottingham of the Restoration Comedy The Rover. The theatre has a genuine and warm atmosphere of enthusiasm, with every single job, from lead actor to prompt, to costume makers, ice-cream sellers and set builders done entirely for the love of it. There's also a great little bar upstairs and the theatre is open on Saturday lunchtimes for amazingly cheap delicious home-made pub grub.

Shop in Nottinghams Victoria Centre and families will be standing around the clock in anticipation…read more When the Victoria Centre was built, it was decided to have some distinctive, preferably unique, feature which would provide a focal point. Rowland Emett, famous for his three-dimensional creations, including the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car, was commissioned to make such a feature. What he called an 'Aqua Horological Tintinnabulator' stands at the south end on the lower mall and was specially designed to be visible from both malls and to provide constant movement coupled with the gentle sound of fountains playing. Four clock faces, 23 feet above the pool, are supported by a typical Emett moving world of silver squirrels, birds, butterflies, frogs, and a large sunflower. Each hour and half hour is struck on a bell whereupon the sunflower opens to reveal a sextet of bird and squirrel musicians who march in a circle, spinning round while the music is heard. I think it's greatI love Emetts work.

I was around when this was first built (sigh!) and loved it!…read more It was a firm favourite with my mum and with my children too. We would have to wait until it chilmed each time we went past it. We missed lots of buses this way! One of Nottinghams' better decisions it would be nice to think we could have some more sculpture around the town. xx

Excellent modern concert-hall on South Sherwood Street, not to be confused with the "Theatre Royal…read moreand Concert Hall." There's a possible confusion for visitors to Nottingham who are going to attend a concert at the Royal Concert Hall - because when you look it up here or on tripadvisor, mostly you will be directed towards the Theatre Royal and Concert Hall, which is a historic theatre located just around the corner (namely, Theatre Square, Nottingham NG1 6LG). The one I'm talking about is the South Sherwood Street venue, which is a 1982 structure and used for classical concerts as well as any other kind of show (like e.g. the stand-up comedian Omid Djalili, who was one a day after the concert that I attended). The Royal Concert Hall boasts excellent acoustics - much better than e.g. those of the Liverpool Philharmonic hall - though not quite up to the fabulous standards of The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. But it's a better-sounding venue than ANY that you could find in the nation's capital! The sound in the classical concert that I attended (Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Nielsen) was superbly detailed and transparent even in row 4 (stalls). Too bad a city the size of Nottingham doesn't have its own standing professional orchestra. The amenities (bars, toilets, cloakroom) aren't all that great, but the hall itself is. You can always pop in for a pint during intermission at a good pub just across the street (Langtrys).

Royal concert hall often attracts many big touring productions such as Cats, tweenies and starlight…read moreexpress. Is a lovely place to watch a performance from as hardly any seat is a bad one (unless you are at the very top) helpful foh staff and great box office staff.

This museum is located inside Nottingham Castle…read more When we visited there was a large display on the top floor by the Laura Knight, but I assume this is regularly changed. It also has a nistory of Nottingham display which we did not see due to a lack of time. Hopefully we'll go back another day to see the rest. The ground floor also houses the Sherwood Forester's Regimental museum (reviewed seperately) The musem is large and spacious and has a coffee shop and gift shop on the ground floor. This is access for the disabled, and all floors have stairs and lift access.

My daughter liked the gift shop so she could spend some of her pocket money and theres a cafe too. We spent most of our time wondering around the Castle gardens but would like to go back and see some more. We did go in to the part that has the Forester's Regiment things, like old uniforms and books of service which I really liked. Definatley worth a visit.
