Nottingham Group Activities & Weekends

As old as cities come, Nottingham is known for packing a punch when it comes to adrenaline-fuelled outdoor activities for groups and old school taverns for quenching your thirst after a busy day in the woods. When Nottingham first springs to mind, the legend of Robin Hood and his good deeds against the rich will closely follow.

It’s true that the city is full of experiences for the outdoorsy type, but Nottingham also has a modern, buzzing city centre that you can enjoy in conjunction with getting a little muddy. The city is teething with cosy café’s, side street boutiques and one of a kind restaurants along cobbled streets that create a photo opportunity around every corner.

Spend a whole day feeling like big kids with your group in Sherwood Forest and get glammed up for an evening treat in the centre of Nottingham – whatever kind of group outing you’re looking to organise, Nottingham is a chameleon that has it all.

1. Cocktail Making

Kick off any evening with a unique mixology class where you will all mix your own cocktails from scratch using expert equipment in a central bar.

3. Dreamboys Show

Perfect for a girls' night out, watch the famous Dreamboys get their kit off in the infamous strip show with a meet and greet at the end.

5. Action Boot Camp

Treat the group to three different energetic activities in a challenging boot camp to test your group’s agility and determination while getting a bit muddy.

7. Escape Rooms

Put your heads together in the popular escape rooms challenge and see if you can crack codes and solve clues to escape before the time runs out.

9. Foot Darts

Test your aim and bring out your competitive side as you compete in this gigantic version of darts using Velcro footballs and an inflatable board!

Ladies Night Out

You heard it here first girls – you don’t actually need an excuse or occasion to enjoy a proper ladies night out with your favourite gal pals! Funktion Events have been big believers in this concept for years, why wait for a birthday or hen do to roll around when you could just enjoy an evening out with your girl squad? And if ideas are what you need, Nottingham doesn’t fall short of epic nightlife to fill your evening with fun.

Just like any big city, Nottingham has a huge range of venues in different areas to head to during a ladies night out. Cornerhouse and Forman Street, the Lace Market and Castle Wharf all offer something a little different to cater to everyone’s tastes. Alternatively, organise something a bit special for your night with the ladies like a trip to the Dreamboys male strip show!

Getting Around Nottingham

Nottingham as a city knows it’s strengths and has created excellent transport links to take you not only around the city centre but also out and around the county of Nottinghamshire and the famous Sherwood forest.

Getting in and out of Nottingham is easy and relatively good value for money through the Northern Rail trainline, and once you land in the city centre you can take on a lot of the cobbled streets by foot – especially if you’re a new visitor and want to explore a bit! Alternatively, the Nottingham Express Transit is a tram that will directly connect you with shopping and tourist attractions all around the city.
