It's not all Robin Hood and merry men!

Nottingham these days is a bustling centre of shopping, entertainment and night life combined with traditional charm and culture.

The East Midlands Conference Centre itself is set in 330 acres of beautifully landscaped parkland right at the heart of the renowned University of Nottingham: it's a place that you'll find conducive not only to getting serious business done, but also to relaxing and entertaining.

Just a short 2-mile hop away is Nottingham. Recently voted the third best shopping city in the UK (after London and Glasgow ), it has enjoyed lots of investment and regeneration over the last few years. You'll find a lively mix of cafés, bars, restaurants and clubs, contemporary city living, and cultural offerings that include the award-winning Galleries of Justice, theatres and concert venues, the Nottingham caves, and more.

And when it comes to sport, the Nottingham Arena, National Watersports Centre, a test-cricket ground, two league football teams and a grass-court tennis centre are amongst the best facilities in the country.

As a location for your conference or event, the city takes some beating and so does the EMCC. Not only does it offer a flexible space for tailor-made events, it also enjoys a superb central location accessible from every part of the country.

The M1 and A1 are both close by, there are regular rail services to London , the south and the north, and Nottingham East Midlands Airport brings guests from even further afield well within reach. Plus, we offer ample free parking for all of your delegates.
