Nottingham is known as “The Queen of the Midlands” due to its women, however, it also has a rich history of rebellion!

Nottingham’s history mirrors England’s history of Empire, rebellion and industry and this is reflected in the many iconic buildings and memorials in the city, covering nearly 2,000 years of history. Discover how it became a world trade hub through its lace industry, which gave this city its nickname at the height of the British Empire in the 19th century: City of World Lace Manufacture.

Meet your bar maid guides (who will be dressed in Bavarian or other themed outfits) in Nottingham city center, then head to your 1st bar. Relax as your hosts collect your budget for the night, and make trips to the bar for you. Be informed of how much you've spent and when you're running low. Next, head to a 2nd bar. Focus on enjoying the night, as your group is served drinks by your hosts. Unwind with the lads as your beer maid orders rounds at a time to ensure that you don’t have to worry about queuing or struggling with trays of drinks. Play some fun drinking games. Visit 1 or 2 more bars, checking out the city as you go. Chat with your group or get to know the Nottingham locals. Play some more drinking games, organised by your hosts. Feel like a VIP with your own serving staff that have both the looks and the personalities to provide an exciting night out.
