If you’ve just about had enough of the somewhat sporadic British weather and you’re daydreaming about your next getaway, why not grab your sandals and sunglasses and head to a tropical rainforest oasis? Nope, we’re not suggesting you hop on the next flight to Bora Bora – you need look no further than Nottingham’s Cornerhouse, where you’ll find the Tiki Bar at The Lost City Adventure Golf.
