For some, the perfect first date is quiet, understated, and intimate, and for others, it's loud, bold, and adventurous. Though, whatever your taste, there's plenty to do in Nottingham.

For starters, you might want to take advantage of the city's rich and varied history. For example, why not stop for a drink at the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub, which claims to be Britain's oldest watering hole and sits in the shadow of Nottingham Castle? During the Third Crusade, it's said that knights often stopped off here on their way to Jerusalem, and this is how this pub got its name.

The 'Queen of the Midlands', as some people affectionately call this charming city, is also a hotspot for arts and culture. Nottingham Playhouse and Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall is one of the UK's most popular touring venues. So whether you like musicals, plays, operas, or symphonies, there's sure to be something on that you and your date will enjoy.

And why not pair your night at the theatre with dinner and cocktail? There are plenty of places in Nottingham where you can enjoy tasty dishes and delicious drinks. Le Mistral Sherwood on Mansfield Road is a popular choice. It has a cosy, intimate atmosphere and the food is a blend of European and local Midlands cuisine.

For those who fancy something a little more active, ice skating at the National Ice Centre is always a good choice - especially throughout the winter months. Or, if it's a nice day, why not go for a stroll around the Arboretum? You could even pack a romantic picnic.
