NOTTINGHAM HEN DAY

Well ladies, if your hen weekend Nottingham wouldn’t be complete without a day of shopping, you have certainly chosen well. Nottingham is a beautiful place to shop, largely pedestrianised in the centre and full of interesting architecture. There are over 1000 shops to choose from, so get ready to flex the plastic.

First stop for those Nottingham hen parties should be the Lace market district which is renowned for its opulence, breath-taking architecture and hotels, and restaurants and bars of outstanding quality. Back in the 18th century lace was a symbol of high fashion, good living and well-dressed homes.

Today the lace makers and knitting machines are gone and this is now the place where the cutting edge of style still beats at the heart of Nottingham, but this is more the designer names we’re used to.

The Lace Market is home to local boy Paul Smith’s flagship store who is of course the now internationally-renowned designer. So come on ladies and take those Nottingham hen parties on an unforgettable shopping experience in these streets packed with boutique and original stores. When in need of a little sustenance why not pop into one of the many stylish bars or cafes throughout its winding streets.

Don’t worry if it rains it won’t put a dampener on the shopping trip as your hen party Nottingham can shop till you drop, in one of the fabulous indoor shopping centres where you’ll find all the high street stores and top designers.
