In a good way! It retains it's young, vibrant and exciting atmosphere, making you want to visit just for a drink. The 'pub', now called Cast, has changed dramatically in its' decor since the late sixites but still buzzes with conversation. Shame about the 'music' - FAR too loud. Oh dear; am I getting old?! As for 'That Play'; well it was OK. The weird sisters were portrayed in a very interesting way but I found the acting in general to be rather over the top. But then I'm not an expert! And I didn't want to leave! xx

Excellent modern concert-hall on South Sherwood Street, not to be confused with the "Theatre Royal…read moreand Concert Hall." There's a possible confusion for visitors to Nottingham who are going to attend a concert at the Royal Concert Hall - because when you look it up here or on tripadvisor, mostly you will be directed towards the Theatre Royal and Concert Hall, which is a historic theatre located just around the corner (namely, Theatre Square, Nottingham NG1 6LG). The one I'm talking about is the South Sherwood Street venue, which is a 1982 structure and used for classical concerts as well as any other kind of show (like e.g. the stand-up comedian Omid Djalili, who was one a day after the concert that I attended). The Royal Concert Hall boasts excellent acoustics - much better than e.g. those of the Liverpool Philharmonic hall - though not quite up to the fabulous standards of The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester. But it's a better-sounding venue than ANY that you could find in the nation's capital! The sound in the classical concert that I attended (Grieg, Tchaikovsky and Nielsen) was superbly detailed and transparent even in row 4 (stalls). Too bad a city the size of Nottingham doesn't have its own standing professional orchestra. The amenities (bars, toilets, cloakroom) aren't all that great, but the hall itself is. You can always pop in for a pint during intermission at a good pub just across the street (Langtrys).

Run entirely by devoted volunteers, the theatre is committed to performing challenging and interesting plays, recently putting on the first ever showing in Nottingham of the Restoration Comedy The Rover. The theatre has a genuine and warm atmosphere of enthusiasm, with every single job, from lead actor to prompt, to costume makers, ice-cream sellers and set builders done entirely for the love of it. There's also a great little bar upstairs and the theatre is open on Saturday lunchtimes for amazingly cheap delicious home-made pub grub.

As a musician myself, I have performed at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham on many occasions…read more The back stage staff are always pleasant, polite and helpful, and I always have a good time there. The acoustics of the hall are incredible. The best way to hear a performance in that place in my opinion is to have no amplification whatsoever. Acoustic concerts are just beautiful there - unfortunately, this can result in the opposite when too much mikeing up is used. I went to see a Rhythm and blues band and the sound was overpowering and swam around the room without clarity. So, pick your show carefully - the programme is always varied and interesting. There's plenty of stuff to see, and at reasonable prices. The seats are comfy, bars convenient and toilets accessible.
