Nottingham is a modern city known for its shopping centres, nightlife, sporting facilities and efficient public transport system which keeps the city centre congestion free.

Although much of Sherwood Forest was felled for ship building 200 years ago, what remains is of interest, both as a rare example of natural deciduous woodland and through its association with the legendary outlaw Robin Hood.

Nottingham has a wide variety of meetings venues, both historic and modern. The largest facility is the Nottingham Arena which can host conferences for up to 10,000 people.

The Sherwood Forest area of Nottinghamshire is known locally as The Dukeries because of the stately homes and parks that are here. Their presence has helped to preserve much of the ancient woodland.

Wollaton Hall was completed in 1588, the first great work of the architect Robert Smythson. Deer roam among it’s 500 acres of parkland, which includes a lake and golf course and is close to the outskirts of Nottingham. The Hall houses Nottingham’s natural history museum, with an industrial museum and a gallery in the outbuildings and stables. The great Hall can be used for conferences with a theatre style capacity of 100.

The Saracens Head at Southwell is set in the shadow of a glorious medieval Minster. It was established as a hotel in the 12^th century. 10 Kings of England are recorded as staying here. Among them Richard I and King John – who died at nearby Newark Castle. The hotel is most famous for its connections with Charles I, who stayed here in 1642 when he raised his standard at Nottingham to start the English Civil War. Four years later he returned to the hotel, this time to give himself up to the Parliamentary forces.

Newstead Abbey is best known as the ancestral home of the poet Lord Byron. After the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the Abbey was passed to the Byron family who converted it into a home. The oldest surviving part of the building, the west front of the church, dates back to the 13^th century. The Abbey is set in 300 acres of gardens in the heart of the Dukeries.

Belvoir Castle is just outside Nottinghamshire and is the home of the Duke and Duchess of Rutland. Although there has been a castle on the site for almost one thousand years, most of the current structure was built after a fire in 1816. The building and it’s location are stunning as are the art galleries, which include one of the most famous Holbein portraits of Henry VIII. A variety of rooms in the castle (including the galleries) are available for events.
