Nottingham is well known as an energetic, cosmopolitan city consisting of first-class shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants. Today, Nottingham is one of just six designated "Science Cities", home to more than 15,000 businesses with a wide range of science and technology sectors, including biomedical sciences, ICT, environmental technologies and advanced engineering.

Want to know what it feels like to take control of a jet liner? If the answer is yes, a trip to SimSpot is mandatory. This simulator is a complete replica of the inside of the Boeing 737 cockpit and every dial, button, switch and instrument, is fully functional, just like in a real aircraft.

With many thriving universities and a pioneering art and culture scene of live music, theatre, art galleries and museums, a trip to Nottingham Playhouse can really show off Nottingham's culture. Past performers include the likes of Chris Ramsey and Jason Byrne.
