Getting Around Nottingham
Nottingham has recently put a city centre tram system in place and most of the city centre is now so getting around by foot at night is the best option. For any journey outside of the city centre then taxis will probably be the most convenient way around. The City Square and Lace Market areas are easily walkable and as most of our hotels are in these areas getting out at night is simple! The main train station is a brisk 5 minute walk to nightlife and shopping areas. We can provide good reliable taxi or minibus numbers to all groups who book their stag weekend with Maximise.
Nottingham Nightlife
Nottingham is up there with Newcastle, Edinburgh and Bristol when it comes to stag weekend nightlife. Nottingham has a large student population which includes one of the largest nursing campuses in the UK which has led to Nottingham having a reputation for more women then men living in the city. This has subsequently attracted a lot of weekend visitors and led to a rise in the number of trendy bars, pubs and clubs. The City Square, the trendy Lace Market area and Hockley are the current 'in' places featuring popular bars and clubs - all great for a night out and all close together. Nottingham is also home to one pub that is a contender for England oldest pub - worth a visit!
