General:
Recognizing the need to diversify, Nottingham refused to be totally dependent upon Industry for it’s economy and reputation. Members of stag weekends will see a town originally known for lace and bicycles. The town leaders opened roads to education and culture, the result being the Nottingham that stag parties see and enjoy today. The city

is alive with activity, reaping the benefits of a thriving tourist presence. Because of a growing student base, stag weekenders enjoy a Nottingham alive with many choices of activity. Eateries, bars and clubs have multiplied, galleries and museums have become an integral part of everyday life.

History and Culture:
After recovering from World War II, Nottingham began clearing the devastation to rebuild. It made a conscious decision not to rebuild an economy dependent upon only one aspect of their past. industry. When your stag do sees the current Nottingham, they will see a community enjoying a thriving tourism industry. The Pharmaceutical and Biotechnical Industries have established for themselves a place in the economy. The number of museums and galleries continue to grow and the people of Nottingham still bask in their history of over 700 years. This history is made apparent by Nottingham castle that stands proud over the city. Your stag do will see cottages from the 1600’s sitting not too far from a “Hooter’s Bar”.

Nottingham Transportation:
As in many cases, any stag do would be doing themselves an injustice if they do not spend time walking through Nottingham, especially city centre. There is public transportation available, busses and trams, should you decide to venture outside the area. You can obtain all-day passes at a very reasonable cost.
