The beautiful city of Nottingham sits right in the middle of England, making it a very accessible city. The spirited city is always buzzing, primarily attributed to the presence of energetic students who have played a pivotal role in transforming Nottingham's music and club scene.
For history fans, every corner of the city is a new lesson in history. From the 11th-century Nottingham Castle to the magnificent Wollaton Hall, plenty of historic sites to visit and learn more. Nottingham is also known for its lively theatre scene and hosts must-see dance, music, and drama performances throughout the year. This unsuspecting, attractive English city has something for everyone.
According to English folktales, Robin Hood was an expert archer and swordsman who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. He worked in concomitance with 'Merry Men,' a group of brigands who supported Robin Hood. The large English Oak called the Major Oak was the hideout place of the outlaws. Today, the people of Nottingham see the Major Oak as a symbol of the good done by Robin Hood. There are a variety of tours you can take if you and your delegates are interested in learning more about the infamous outlaw.
