Events in Nottingham From 4th May – 10th May 2026

Looking for events in Nottingham this week? You can find a mix of food and live music across the city. The Bank Holiday weekend brings several options, with 18 food traders and live music returning to Trent Bridge. On Monday, head to The Trent Bridge Inn for soulful rock blues from Lightning Threads and Whiskeyhead, or catch Unlucky Strike’s neo rockabilly set on Friday. For a country brunch with live music, try Red Dog Saloon on Saturday, or enjoy Cajun tunes from Lil' Roosters at Billy's. If you're after a Y2K-inspired house party, Stealth hosts one on Saturday night. For those looking to explore music in the Lace Market, the venues are accessible via tram or bus. The city centre has limited on-street parking, especially during peak times and events, so plan ahead. If arriving by rail, Nottingham Railway Station offers connections, and the Nottingham Express Transit tram system runs through key areas. For a relaxed outing, walk through the green spaces, but remember parking can be tight near Old Market Square. For evening activities, consider venues like Billy's, which is just outside the city. If you're heading to the Theatre Royal area, check listings for live music, and for family-friendly options, look for events in the city’s parks. Public transport works well, with bus services and Park & Ride facilities available to reduce congestion. Keep in mind that crime rates are moderate, so take care in crowded areas at night.
