Moved to Glasgow, Scotland but miss Nottingham everyday ❤️😭

27 Upvotes

Few months ago, we moved from Nottingham to Glasgow because of work, and even though life here has been good, I still catch myself missing Nottingham a lot. I spent 4 years there, and those years really left a mark on me. Every now and then, random flashes of the city pop into my mind — certain streets, familiar corners, places I used to pass without thinking — and it hits me with that warm, nostalgic feeling.

I genuinely love that city to bits. From West Bridgford’s calm, leafy vibes to the buzz of the City Centre, from Bulwell to NG2 business park, all the way up to Rise Park — every part of it has its own charm. The energy there is something else… young people everywhere, lively atmosphere, just this constant sense of movement and positivity.

It’s wild how a place can stick with you like that. Even now, the images come flooding back all the time. Nottingham will always feel like home in a way.

How busy will Hockley be on Pride Saturday?

23 Upvotes

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

Where's best to donate a chromebook to someone who actually needs it?

9 Upvotes

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?

Recommendations for places to remote work in the City Center

6 Upvotes

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!

Where in Notts can I just turn up at a certain time on a certain day and play sports? (I'm not expecting it to be free)

4 Upvotes

Such as basketball, tabletennis, hockey, futsal or tag rugby? I'm open to others, those are just the ones I'm interested in.

Please let me know if you know of any friendly and welcoming groups for the above sports that are open to new joiners.

Would be greatful if you could include days and times if possible.

As an aside also looking for a Mens Adults Sunday league team, preferably within 20 mins drive of City centre.

Thanks in advance 😊

Solo birthday weekend in Nottingham - what shouldn't I miss?

2 Upvotes

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!

Bonfire Night

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?
