Town stinks 😷…
Not sure if it’s the heat, but town literally smells like a urinal today. Looks like most of it could do with a good power wash, get all the sick stains off the floor etc 🫠

It’s past 9 PM and all the print shops are closed. The libraries show closed as well on the maps. Tried looking for 24 hour services but couldn’t find anything. What are my options?

Hey everyone I’m 25 and I’ve always wanted to get into D&D but never really built up the courage to get involved in it. I am socially anxious but I would at least like to learn and get involved now
Just curious on places that host D&D sessions that are beginner friendly and are just a collective of lovely folk that enjoy time together.
Looking forward to seeing your suggestions. TIA

My daughter, 9 and neurodiverse, would like to watch Pride from a distance on Saturday. She doesn't like crowded places. Any recommendations for cafés, etc, with a view where we could chill for a while and observe? Thanks!

Anyone have information on the new place that's opened in West Bridgford? It's called Kona and opened where sexy mama loves spaghetti was. Really I just want confirmation it's new owners and not the dirty owner of SMLS trying a new venture.

Here for a stopover tonight before heading home tomorrow. I’ve checked online but can’t see much going on in terms of events, but I suppose it’s a Thursday night. Does anyone know of any live music, comedy, food events etc. on in the city centre tonight? Just looking to get out for a couple of drinks and make an evening of it.

Hi everyone! I’m looking for recommendations for an independent nail tech in West Bridgford and surrounding areas.
I’m looking for someone who’s great with gel extensions as I don’t want acrylics anymore. I also love fun designs so someone who likes doing nail art would be amazing😊
Also want to add I do bite my nails so my nails are really short 🫠

Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
I’m soon to be moving to Nottingham and was wondering if anyone knows any cheap car parks nearish the city centre? I’ve found a few but they’re all quite expensive. I’m looking for a long stay car park for when my family come to visit. I also don’t mind parking a bit further away and getting a bus/ walking back in.
Thanks!!

Hi everyone!
M, 38 - I'm thinking of visiting Nottingham for my birthday for a couple of nights (2nd-4th August) and it'll be my first time in the city. I'll be on my own, so I'm looking for recommendations from locals.
A bit about what I enjoy:
Comic book, gaming, anime and generally "nerdy" shops.
Interesting/Science museums (less interested in law/history unless it's something really unique).
Friendly pubs, bars or clubs (Friendly since I'll be on my own)
Nice cafés, independent shops and places that are good to just wander around. Hidden gems that I might miss.
I've already got a few ideas but I'd love to hear what else anyone would recommend.
Thanks in advance!

May move there as I've found a place that I like. Just want to know what I can look forward to doing if I do move there?

Update: we’ve decided to reschedule. But I hope all of you that are going to Pride have a fabulous time!
I’ve planned a lunch with friends in Hockley on Saturday (table booked for 12pm) and was planning on going for coffee somewhere beforehand and dessert somewhere else afterwards. I now realise that it’s Pride 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️, so I’m wondering if it’s going to be too busy to do that?
I know from friends who go to Pride in other cities that often ppl stay in the bars rather than going to the organised event. Is Nottingham the same?
I’m more than happy to join in the fun, but not if it’s going to be absolutely mobbed!
TIA

I have a perfectly good working chromebook that I no longer need or want. I was going to sell it on Vinted but decided to just donate it instead as they only seem to go for about £30-£50 and I don't have a camera to take pictures of it for the listing and i'd be happy for it to go to someone who actually needs it.
I considered just dropping it off at a charity shop so the profits would benefit a charity but then the chromebook itself could be bought by a student or someone with expendable cash and I'd really prefer it go to a family that has nothing where it would change their circumstances a little or give a poor child a resource to study with or something along those lines.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm meeting a friend on Friday and we plan to co-work for 4-5 hours (we both work remotely), can anyone recommend anywhere suitable?
I've heard of people co-working from Wetherspoons elsewhere but not sure if there's any decent WiFi/mobile data in any of them!

So me and some others will be in Nottingham in November and will be there for bonfire night. We've taken a quick look and it doesn't look as though there are any particular events on the night for it. Anyone know of anything that I've missed or is there just no large firework displays?

I currently live in Southampton and Shirley high street is one of the most notorious stretches of road, known as the Mutant Mile (or Jeremy Kyle Mile), full of flatroof pubs, crackheads and colourful characters
I'm moving to Nottingham later this year and would love to know if there's famously somewhere similar to avoid

Hello everyone!
My sister is going to Nottingham to do nerdy Warhammer shit (and historical figures I guess?). She wants to check out a Chinese chip shop and get some curry chips. We're both very interested in regional variations in Chinese cuisine. Do you have a favorite place? What is your go-to English Chinese dish?
Thank you!

I (F36) want to reignite my childhood dream of being on the stage.
Any groups, advice, or leads would be appreciated. I'm having a Google but it's good to hear other people's thoughts too x
