October 21, 2021 Karren Gelb

This town in the very center of England is perhaps best known for its association with the legend of Robin Hood. The men in tights are long gone, though—today, you’ll find a modern city with a fantastic playhouse, ice hockey arena, and many, many shops and clubs.

National Justice Museum

Based in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, the National Justice Museum is housed in Nottinghamshire’s Grade 2 listed old Shire Hall and County Gaol. The Museum uses original Courtrooms, dungeons and prison cells, along with a number of more contemporary galleries to exhibit collections relating to justice, the law, crime and punishment in a fun and interactive way. When visiting the museum you may also meet a variety of colourful historical characters with different stories of justice to tell.

Reviewed By colino688 - Derby, United Kingdom

We really enjoyed out trip to the 'Galleries of Justice Museum' and the entrance fee was very reasonable. The exhibitions are interesting (I particularly enjoyed the forensics section) and every now and again you meet live actors who explain what life was like when the place was a prison. We also went into the exercise yard to watch the hanging and the witchcraft trail in the courtroom. My wife ended up in the dock which was fun. Despite calls from me to 'take her down' she did end up coming home with me!! There's lots of other things to do and a nice little cafe for a drink and a snack. We stayed about 4 hrs but could have stayed longer if we had of also gone on the architecture tour but my long suffering wife wasn't up for that. All in all a fun day out learning about justice old and new. One tip though, wrap up well if you go in the winter some areas are cold. .

Visit the Cafe in the Courtyard for light refreshments including freshly ground coffee, specialty teas and home made cakes.

Being Nottingham family we must have visited Wollaton Park literally hundreds of times. And while a little more TLC wouldn’t go amiss from the City Council, or a good deal more respect for the park from its visitors, it’s still arguably Nottingham’s finest visitor attraction. From its small natural history museum (housed in the historic Wollaton Hall which incidentally doubled as Wayne Manor in the Dark Knight Batman blockbuster), to its equally historic Camillia House and gardens, through to its picturesque lake and herds of roaming deer, Wollaton Park is an all things to all people, something for everyone of every age location. Add to this huge swathes of grass, numerous walks, vast expanses of open space, shaded glades, numerous views, adjoining golf course, ample seating areas, a cafe, and farm and souvenir shops and a kiddies adventure playground and it’s just the place to take the kids, walk the dog, take elderly parents or simply walk, sit around and enjoy. Not only that but if you arrive on foot it’s free and even if you park it’s only £3 so hardly breaks the bank. Check the website though because in the warmer months the park hosts numerous events from car exhibitions to huge weekend pop concerts.

Reviewed By 826sarahc - Nottingham, United Kingdom

I’ve been to many office Christmas parties over the years and there is always something that doesn’t quite hit the mark, either it’s great entertainment and awful food or vice versa but our party at Alea Casino was absolutely brilliant all round - venue very classy, food piping hot and very very nice (for mass catering) entertainment of band and then disco (along with being able to go in the casino as well) was brilliant. Will definitely return and recommend.
