Nottingham is one of three major cities in the East Midlands of England and the others being nearby Leicester and Derby. Its prosperity was historically derived mostly from the lace making and coal-mining industries, little of which remains. Nottingham has moved towards a more service-based economy. In the 1960s it was famed for having a gender imbalance.

The centre of Nottingham lies on the River Leen and its southern boundary follows the course of the River Trent, which flows from Stoke to the Humber. According to the 2020 census, Nottingham has an estimated city population of 275,100. The Nottingham Urban Area conurbation (which includes surrounding suburbs outside the city boundary, and neighbouring towns) has a population of 666,358 (2001 Census). Nottingham is a member of the English Core Cities Group.

The heart of the city is the Old Market Plaza, which underwent a major redevelopment in 2006. Most of the main shopping streets are around the square. The Council House, whose tall dome can be seen for miles around, is at the top end of the square. The inside of the Council House is the Exchange Arcade, a shopping centre. A bohemian quarter of the city known as Hockley has arisen close to the Lace Market area. Nottingham receives a lot of tourism, mostly because of the legend of Robin Hood, visiting Sherwood Forest and Nottingham Castle.

If you happen to be visiting Nottingham at the same time that they are taking on arch rivals the Sheffield Steelers then get your tickets in advance as these games nearly always sell out - prepare yourself for 7000 people screaming on their team and a war on the ice - these teams do not like each other (though there is never any fan based violence). Another Ice Hockey match worth going to is the Nottingham Trent University vs University of Nottingham Varsity match held once a year and is the biggest varsity outside North America.

Events

Nottingham goose fair 2012 207a - A ride at the Goose Fair. Nottinghamshire Pride 2011 MMB 04 - A partier at Nottinghamshire Pride 2011.

• Nottingham's Goose Fair is held on the Forest Recreation Ground (at the Forest tram stop) on the first weekend of October each year. It is one of Britain's largest funfairs and has existed more than 700 years, but nowadays you won't see any geese! Entry is free. To see it at its best, go after dark, although it's likely to be less busy during the day.
• The Forest Recreation Ground also plays host to the city's annual Bonfire Night fireworks display, which also has a funfair.
• The Riverside Festival at Victoria Embankment is held on a weekend at the start of August each year. It features live music, markets and fairs topped off with a huge fireworks display.
• The varsity sports series between the city's two universities and the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University, is the largest outside of North America.
• Nottinghamshire Pride is held annually in the last weekend of July at the Forest Recreation Ground. The event consists of numerous stages of music and comedy, as well as many stalls and stands from organisations, including food areas! It attracts people not just from the Nottingham area; but from neighbouring counties and regions such as South Yorkshire and Derbyshire. Nottingham is therefore a friendly city and is accepting of people with a notable visibility. (The city has the third highest percentage of people in same sex partnerships, according to the 2020 census, of the eight English core cities after Manchester and Bristol.) It is referred to as the capital of the Midlands - or "Queen of the Midlands"; and the community are down to earth and friendly; as is the general culture of Nottingham.

Entry is fairly affordable and is predominantly aimed at the student population of the city. Recently featured in The Guardian, it is seen as Nottingham's forward thinking Music and Arts event.

Muslim Friendly Shopping in Nottingham

Nottingham has two large excellent shopping centres at either end of the Downtown "The Victoria Centre" and "Broadmarsh". The Victoria Centre is the more modern of the two, and has more shops & facilities, although Broadmarsh is on the eve of a huge redevelopment which will more than double its size.

• intu Victoria Centre - 222 Victoria Centre, NG1 3QN 52.956389, -1.147222 ☎ +44 115 912 1111 Victoria Centre
• intu Broadmarsh - Lister Gate, NG1 7LB 52.95, -1.148611 ☎ +44 115 840 4555 Broadmarsh

Between the two are the main shopping streets: Lister Gate and Clumber Street are home to High Street names, while designer labels can be found on Bridlesmith Gate, Victoria Street and in the Exchange Arcade, within the Council House on Market Plaza. The alternative shopper will find Hockley Village a haven, focused around Goose Gate and the city's Bohemian neighborhood. To buy a Nottingham memento, go to the Lace Centre on the junction of Castle Gate, opposite the Robin Hood statue, to buy traditional Nottingham lace.

With regards to the alternative music and fashion scene, Nottingham is highly regarded and caters well for obscure and eclectic tastes. Selectadisc, just a short walk from the Market Plaza is one of just two in the nation and the other being in Soho, London. Selectadisc is widely considered to stock the best indie and alternative music selection in the city, yet it is commonly felt that, for more helpful and down-to-earth staff and the Fopp store (on the next road) is more reliable. Now one of just six Fopp stores in the nation, this store often stages in store sessions and offers a wide selection of independent DVDs and fanzines and CDs from unsigned acts. Void, Wild (and its sister store Wilder) and the local favourite Ice Nine can all be found in the bohemian neighborhood of Hockley. These stores can often become busy over the weekend in particular, but many original retro and vintage fashion items can be found for very affordable prices here.

A good place to start is the trendy Lace Market area east of Market Plaza where you will also find many good restaurants. Pubs around the Market Plaza tend to appeal to younger drinkers with a Wetherspoon's and Yates's Wine Lodge, but the area on the canal side around the Canal House pub tends to be a little more discerning. The Hockley area also provides a range of pleasant bars to suit a range of budgets. The Cornerhouse complex (near the Royal Centre tram stop) contains some really nice bars, particularly Revolution, and close to this is The Orange Tree on Shakespeare Street. Slightly further out of the centre in the multicultural and vibrant area known as Sneinton is a wonderful pub called the Lord Nelson with a great garden and real ales. The other historic pubs include The Bell Inn, situated in the Market Plaza, and the Salutation, on Maid Marian Way, both of which can trace a long history and lay claim to having resident ghosts. Ask at a quiet moment for a tour of the Salutation's cellars, dug by hand into the sandstone rock below the pub and used in centuries past as a secure brewing area. The Ned Ludd is also located near the Old Market square and serves local ale from Nottingham Brewery. Rock City hosts one of the biggest student disco nights in town, with standard dance/pop music, when popular live rock bands aren't playing in town. For a different experience, try The Pitcher and Piano bar, with a slightly more mature crowd. Built as a large Anglican church it has been stylishly modernised but still contains the church's architectural history with gothic decor and stained glass windows. Juju is good dance bar, that is open till 3 or 4AM on the weekends, with free entry.

Stay Safe

While overall a safe city, Nottingham has been highlighted by the media for gun and knife crime in its suburbs, acquiring the (mostly tongue-in-cheek) nickname 'Shottingham'; although the actual incidence in 2004/5 was 19 offences per 100,000 population (compared to 50 per 100,000 population for both Greater Manchester and London). It is best to avoid walking late at night through Street Ann's (a council estate northeast of the Victoria shopping centre) and The Meadows (between the train station and the river). Normal precautions for large western European cities should be undertaken by individuals after dark, especially for lone females.
