Location
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Nottingham City Airport, officially known as Nottingham Airport and located at Tollerton, is a small regional airport serving Nottingham and the surrounding East Midlands area. Operating under ICAO code EGBN and IATA code NQT, it primarily handles general aviation, flight training, and occasional charter flights rather than scheduled commercial services. The airport has a long history tied to wartime use and postwar civil aviation development. Its single grass and paved runway infrastructure reflects its general aviation focus, and it is home to several flying clubs and training organisations based on the airfield. Nottingham City Airport is distinct from East Midlands Airport, which serves as the main commercial airport for the broader region. The facility remains modest in size and infrastructure compared to major UK airports.

City & Place Guide

Legendary outlaw city blending medieval history with vibrant modern culture.

Nottingham sits at the heart of the East Midlands, famous worldwide as the home of Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The city grew wealthy through the lace and textile industries, leaving behind a handsome Victorian cityscape alongside a remarkable network of hand-carved sandstone caves beneath the streets.

Today Nottingham is a lively university city with a buzzing nightlife scene, independent shops in the Lace Market quarter, and a thriving arts and music culture. Nottingham Castle, recently refurbished, anchors the historic core while the sprawling Victoria and Broadmarsh areas offer modern retail and dining.

The surrounding county provides easy day trips to Sherwood Forest, Newstead Abbey, and the Vale of Belvoir, making Nottingham an excellent base for exploring the wider East Midlands region.

  • •Nottingham Castle — refurbished fortress with Robin Hood exhibitions and panoramic city views.
  • •City of Caves — guided tours through 800 years of history in hand-carved sandstone tunnels.
  • •The Lace Market — Victorian warehouses converted into galleries, boutiques, and cafés.
  • •Sherwood Forest — ancient woodland and the legendary Major Oak associated with Robin Hood.
  • •Nottingham Contemporary — leading free modern art gallery in a striking lace-patterned building.
  • •Wollaton Hall — stunning Tudor mansion set in a deer park, used as Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises.

Getting around: Nottingham is well connected by NET tram (Nottingham Express Transit) linking the city centre, Hucknall, Clifton, and the train station. Buses operated by Nottingham City Transport cover the wider city and suburbs affordably. Nottingham Station provides direct rail links to London St Pancras, Birmingham, and Sheffield. Taxis and Uber operate throughout the city, and the compact centre is very walkable.

Best time: Late spring (May–June) and early autumn (September) offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds, though the Robin Hood Festival in Sherwood Forest each August draws enthusiastic visitors.

Local food: Try a Nottingham-style pork pie from a local butcher, sample award-winning ales at historic Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub, and explore the eclectic street food market at Sneinton Market.
