Please note: the main entrance has moved from the upper mall in Broadmarsh Shopping Centre to the bottom of the steps at the back of Nottingham Contemporary.
Nottingham has the UK's largest network of caves - over 800 are hidden beneath its streets. At The City of Caves, you can discover the largest publicly available section of this vast underground network. Enjoy a memorable adventure in history at the heart of this subterranean wonder.
Soak up the extraordinary atmosphere of the ancient caves carved deep beneath Nottingham’s city centre, including WW2 air raid shelters and a medieval tannery. Our audio tour lasts approximately 45 minutes, and we recommend bringing headphones.
