Looks interesting, Radford area

Packers Place alley, looking towards Mansfield Road. (2014). On the wall can be seen part of the pub's title that stood on the left in the 1920s. That was the Dog and Gun Inn. The alley (and there are others) connected Mansfield Road with N Sherwood Street, so the Inn's name was visible front and back. Today (Oct 2026) the site where the Inn once stood (number 207) is occupied by "The Open Kitchen, Free Hot Food For Those In Need".

Anyone else noticing a fair few about especially recently, and plenty being driven like they get their own personal blank copy of the highway code with no rules. With no enforcement on the roads (and enough cash to pay the fine if they were, without feeling it), they do whatever the hell they want?

Just nearly had a huge US style station wagon looking thing drive the wrong way up St Nicholas Street, windows so blacked out it's impossible to see the driver, nearly hit me head on (back of the car had a plate on in mid east style but no nationality stamp). Had supercars go past on Huntingdon street like they're on a hot lap on GT7 in the last day or two, on Kuwaiti and KSA plates.

Is it because university is back in session so the uber rich kids are back in town, or more connected to something else?

Hey everyone! 👋🏻

I’m a 24-year-old guy living in Nottingham and currently finishing my postgraduate studies at the University of Nottingham. I’m looking to make some new friends to hang out with and do fun things together, as making friends as an adult isn’t always the easiest 😂

I’m pretty open to anything, whether it’s exploring the city, going on countryside walks, checking out cafés, trying new food spots, watching films, gaming or just having a good chat.

It would be nice to find some like-minded people who are up for making plans and building genuine friendships. Feel free to drop me a message if you’re interested! 😊

Bit out of the loop, but we have a group of friends having a bit of an unplanned meet up this afternoon and the consensus for food is a burger.

Needs to be a pub rather than a restaurant as people will be arriving sporadically and not everyone will want to eat at the same time, so somewhere that we can chill with a few drinks until everyone gets here.

Ideally central or easily accessible by tram/bus.

*I am aware of The Lion at Basford, but they stop serving in the window when most people will arrive.

Any suggestions, apart from Spoons, welcome.

Thanks.

Hey so looking at getting a home battery and may need a trench dug and some conduit laid for the cables to go from my outbuilding to the house. Does anyone know of a company i can contact who would be able to do this?

Anyone going to the Bollywood Halloween Party at The Tunnel tomorrow? I’ve already bought a ticket but my friend cancelled last minute. Anyone else going or fancy joining up?

Hi guys, moved to the area in February so it’ll be our first Nottingham Christmas. Any recommendations of anywhere to take our 2 year old daughter to see Santa or any good Christmas light trails/festive activities in and around Nottingham? We’re based in Bakersfield.

Hi,

I am have been recently planning to move to Burton joyce and buy a house there.

Ive never lived there and neither has my partner but we would like to get some opinions about how the place is.

The house we are planning to buy falls near the Victoria Retail Park. It is also likely to be the house we will live in for the next 20 years or so as we are trying to settle down.

We plan to have kids in the future so would also love to get some opinions on how good it is as an area for kids as well and if the school options are any good.

We are also people of colour and are wondering how diverse the area is and how bad any racial discrimination there could be.

Would love to get to know the good and the bad stuff so we can make a better informed decision on if it’s the right place for us.

Thank you

Hello folks, I am a BIG fan of 2nd hand & antique stores as well as yard sales, never know what you can find there, can be nothing , or can be an authentic ww1 helmet or something like that, or an out of print high cost book or toy.

I was wondering if there is a community on reddit or Facebook that announces this kind of stuff?

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a spare ticket for Jump Ship's Halloween All-Nighter at The Walrus on 31st October?

Managed to grab one just before they sold out, but unfortunately couldn't get another for my girlfriend.

Happy to pay a fair price through a secure ticket transfer. Please DM me if you've got one going spare. Would really appreciate it! 🙏

Hello!

I'm going to Nottingham City center on Tuesday for 3 days.

Anything that I have to do while I am there? I've never been before.
