Shopping in Nottingham in general

Inspired by my trip to Nottingham yesterday, I have decided to view my thoughts on the cities choice of shops myself. Il start off by saying the broadmarsh carpark, where we parked was an absolute rip off!! £5.80 for 4 hours parking!! If we were a few minutes late it would have gone up to £8.90 for 5 hours!! Or £15 for the day!! For those visiting, please don't park there, there must be cheaper parking spaces around! Anyway, back to the shops... Nottingham is a pretty large city and I have visited many times before via train as it was direct from my town. It is host to two large sized shopping centres, those being the Broadmarsh and also the ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Nottingham until 2007 when I moved to Leicester for my university course. I'd always enjoyed shopping in Nottingham but it was only being away from home and visiting other citys that I realised exactly what were lacking in the shopping department! BROADMARSH SHOPPING CENTRE In 2007, a three redevelopment plan was announced for the Broadmarsh. I've now heard that this has been delayed but in my opinnion it couldn't come soon enough because the centre is very outdated with few new shops. It has a few major high street stores such as Boots, Argos and BHS but that's it really. It could really do with a few more well known brands to become a mix of ...  Read the complete review

I was taken to Nottingham for my birthday by my partner at the beginning of this month, mainly because Lemar was showing and we had tickets for that, but I had been reliably I informed that there was some good shopping in Nottingham and I am a bit of a shopoholic so what better way than to spend the weekend! We stayed in The Holiday Inn Express which was a perfect location and you could walk the town centre easily. The shops: There were two shopping centres: Broadmarsh and Victoria Centre. The Broadmarsh shopping centre was a lot older in style and didn't contain many of your everyday high street shops but I found that a positive thing, I didn't want to ...  Read the complete review

Even though I've lived in Manchester, Nottingham has always bene up there as one of my favourite places to go to shop, which often surprises people. Once of the things I like about Nottingham is that it's so easy to get around, and all the best shops are in the city centre that's walkable, albeit in different 'areas' and two different shopping centres. First of all, there's Broadmarsh, which is a slightly older looking shopping centre. It's unusual in that it also has an entrance to the Nottingham caves in the side. It's not massive, but it does have some great shops including pound shops, Wilkos, a 99p shop, Dorothy Perkins, Thorntons, Evolution, ...  Read the complete review

I find Nottingham a great place for shopping. Each year it attracts over 25 million shoppers. There are two main shopping centres which are The Victoria Centre and The Broadmarsh Centre which is currently being redeveloped. There are many shopping streets connecting the two and smaller shopping centres called The Exchange Arcade and The Flying Horse for more specialist shops. Other areas in the city with some good specialist shops are Hockley and the Lace Market. The main department stores are John Lewis, Debenhams and the House of Fraser. Victoria Centre The biggest of the shopping centres housing 120 shops. Shops inside are John Lewis, House of Fraser, ...  Read the complete review
