Best date ideas in Nottingham
1.A wander through the Lace Market
Explore the cobbled streets and red-brick warehouses of the Lace Market, ducking into a quiet corner for coffee or a slow drink with plenty to talk about.
2.Sunset by the canal at Castle Wharf
Stroll the waterside walkways at Castle Wharf, watch the boats on the Nottingham Canal, then settle in somewhere overlooking the water as the evening lights come up.
3.An afternoon at Wollaton Hall and Park
Walk the grounds of Wollaton Park, spot the deer, picnic by the lake and tour the Elizabethan hall — a relaxed, low-pressure first date with room to chat.
4.History and views at Nottingham Castle
Climb up to Nottingham Castle and the Robin Hood statue, explore the caves and grounds, then take in the city views from the sandstone outcrop together.
Where to meet singles in Nottingham
Hockley and the Creative Quarter are the heart of laid-back evening dates, while the Lace Market brings character and history. For something greener, the Arboretum and Wollaton Park are perfect for relaxed daytime meets. West Bridgford, just over Trent Bridge, is popular with the slightly older crowd, and Castle Wharf and the canal offer pretty waterside walks close to the centre.
