We are often asked to do reviews for venues in Nottinghamshire - these can be restaurants, attractions - in fact, anything that is a 'Thing to do in Nottinghamshire'.

We hope that you find our opinion useful - we try to be as honest and objective as we can but we will tell you if there is something we really don't like too!

If you have a 'Thing to do in Nottinghamshire' that you'd like us to review, please get in touch! We don't ask for any payment for the reviews we do.

The Engine Yard at Belvoir Castle showcases the original 1800s workshops, which have now been fully restored to create a retail village, restaurant and bar.  Situated opposite the main entrance to Belvoir Castle and open 7 days a week, the Engine Yard offers an interesting range of retail and dining outlets.

Learning how to make teacakes, paired with methods to relax, sounded like the ideal coupling to me.  I enjoy baking but, due to a seemingly natural inability  to produce much that my family will enjoy consuming, I usually leave the cake making to my much more capable 10 year old daughter.

Bottomless Brunch is a thing. There’s a few restaurants offering it in Nottingham and, as I’m a big fan of breakfast, lunch and drinking, I was delighted to be able to experience how Revolution Hockley’s Bottomless Brunch offering fared.

Club Tropicana The Musical is quite possibly the campest production to hit Nottingham’s Theatre Royal for a while.  Sky high shoulder pads, ridiculously large mobile phones, leggings, rara skirts and big hair set the scene for a riotous return to the 1980s.

Golf.  Not something that I have ever had a massive amount of interest in.  I’ve seen the next door neighbour disappear off for the whole day to play and have always been glad that my other half hasn’t been bitten by the golfing bug.

When it comes to spa days, if I’m totally honest, I’m a bit meh.  Relaxing and wearing a swimming cossie are not my favourite things to do and I’d much prefer to be eating and drinking on a sunny City Break than pretending to be healthy.

Food and cocktails at an adventure golf venue in Nottingham City Centre for Saturday date night?  It probably wouldn’t be my first choice if I’m honest but the folks at Lost City Adventure Golf want to persuade us that it’s a good idea, so I popped down to give it a try.

There ain't no party like a Onesie Party, especially when it's an ice skating onesie party!

A new tour has been recently launched at Nottingham’s National Justice Museum.  The Tales of Truth and Legend Tour promises to uncover the secret histories of the Museum, including its notoriety as the home of the Sheriff of Nottingham and its links with the Robin Hood fables.
