Nottingham welcomes students

Getting out and about to explore your surroundings is half the fun of moving to a new place but to give you a helping hand, we’ve created the It’s in Nottingham app which is loaded with the latest shops, restaurants, bars, venues and events across the city centre – plus Google maps to help you get around easily.

Whether you're a music fan, a foodie, looking for a great night out or things to do – our app will point you in the right direction and help you enjoy your time in Nottingham.

Student night – 5 October

A new academic year means exclusive student-only shopping events and discounts at some of the city's most well known – and unique shops – including our very own Victoria Centre.

Come along from 4pm to 8pm to discover deals, games and competitions, goodie bags, live music, DJ sets, and a giant game of beer pong where you can win over £2,000 worth of vouchers.

There's more...

After you've been to Victoria Centre, explore some more of the city by taking a free ride in one of our tuk-tuks from Clumber Street to Bridlesmith Gate – for more fun, giveaways and discounts - and admiring and enjoying the city along the way.

Grab a portion of free fries from McDonald's on Clumber Street, dive into a complimentary chocolate brownie from Greggs and pick up a goody bag from Lush – before you arrive at Bridlesmith Gate for the street art, DJ sets and street entertainment, indulge in some free samples from Kiehl's, tuck into a free Doughnotts doughnut, enjoy a £6 cocktail at Pepper Rocks or get a free shot at The Magic Garden!

Don't worry if you're not sure where you're going, we'll be there to help out on the night.
