Things to do for Children

What activities are there for children?  This is a vital question, especially with holidays always coming up.  Nottinghamshire has a massive range of kids activities in every major town, not just central Nottingham but Mansfield, Newark, Beeston, Arnold, Calverton, Hucknall, Kirkby, Worksop etc.  From soft play areas, child orientated theme parks, educational activities and outdoor pursuits, we know that if the children are happy, life is so much easier. 

Sport and outdoor activities

Our sporting facilities are second-to-none and include the nationally recognised Nottingham Racecourse, The National Watersports Centre, Nottingham Tennis Centre and National Ice Centre, as well as football at Nottingham Forest & Notts County and cricket at historic Trent Bridge. All of this lies on the doorstep of some of Britain’s most stunning countryside – from the woodlands of Sherwood Forest and the magnificent country houses and parks of the Dukeries, to the rolling hills of the Vale of Belvoir.
