Kids' Activities in Nottingham

Affordable, green, and surprisingly good for small kids

No spam. Just a heads-up when we launch.

Affordable, green, and surprisingly good for small kids

Nottingham doesn't shout about itself, but families here know they've got a good deal. Wollaton Park is extraordinary. A deer park with an Elizabethan hall that you can just walk into for free. West Bridgford and Beeston are the classic family suburbs, both with strong local communities. The city centre is compact enough to manage with a pushchair, and there are more parks per capita than you'd guess.

Wollaton Park is the Saturday morning default. Watching the deer, playing on the adventure playground, maybe a hot chocolate at the cafe. Highfields Park by the university has a boating lake and a well-kept playground. Beeston has its own little hub of baby groups and cafes that are used to buggies. The National Justice Museum in town does toddler-specific sessions that are surprisingly good. Sherwood has a community feel with regular toddler groups in the church halls.

Highfields Park

University-adjacent park with a boating lake, playgrounds, and the Lakeside Arts centre which runs toddler events.

Green's Windmill

Working windmill with a small science centre attached. Quirky but kids seem to enjoy the hands-on bits.

Areas We'll Cover in Nottingham

Nottingham has an easygoing, unpretentious parent scene. It's a student city too, which keeps the vibe young and the cafes open to everyone. Baby groups here tend to be friendly and low-pressure.
