Christmas

Home to festive markets, independent boutiques, cosy pubs, and sparkling events, spending Christmas in Nottinghamshire is a truly magical experience. Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are leading the way with some brand-new and reimagined Christmas events designed to allow us all to celebrate the festive season in a socially distanced manner, making it an ideal destination for a safe and special winter getaway. 

The Nottingham Christmas Market and festive attractions in the city centre this year have now been confirmed and will give visitors a chance to safely enjoy a wide range of festive treats and experiences. The 60ft Christmas tree in the Old Market Square will once again be the focal point for the city’s Christmas events. There will also be a giant observation wheel to whisk visitors 33m up into the air, with stunning views over the city’s rooftops. For those who prefer to stay closer to ground level, there is a new Après Ski themed pop-up bar, and a traditional carousel which will also light up the square. Don't forget to also visit Trinity Square where you'll find a charming Christmas Village with a number of igloo-syle glass domes.

Step into Christmas with Travelodge this festive season. Why not extend your stay in the city so you don’t miss any of the Christmas joy. Travelodge has many Hotels in Nottingham with Nottingham central being a short walk away from the festivities.

Christmas at Wollaton Hall is set to be gloriously festive as the gardens are transformed into a captivating spectacle and discovery trail with light, sound and fire. This unique socially distanced outdoor light installation will be an enchanting winter paradise with four magical lands, including a fairy-lit woodland winterscape, a festive forest, a stunning light tunnel and ethereal sculptures. Alongside the dazzling light display, visitors can enjoy festive food and drink and shop for that perfect present at the seasonal market.

The beautiful Belvoir Castle with brim with festive charm, festooned with twinkling lights and  traditional decorations. Visit Santa in his delightful grotto, indulge in yummy festive treats and find the perfect stocking fillers at the chalet style Christmas Markets at the Engine Yard.
