Majestic Theatre

Reviewed By d_taylor83 - Derby, United Kingdom

Went to see Alistair Macgowan and Jasper Carrot in their travelling show. Very impressed by the theatre, seats are comfortable, view is good from most places, volunteer staff are great, decor of theatre is truly splendid. From outside it's a bit like an old brick warehouse, with a burglar deterrant door, but inside it's charming. The bar is small and it's not easy to get a drink, but that is part of the quirky charm of the place. Criticism-- not enough toilets, especially for the women.

The Chameleon Arts Cafe

An intimate live music venue and bar. Voted #2 best venue in the city. Having hosted the likes of Royal Blood, Sleaford Mods, Drenge, Temples and Blossoms. Hidden in plain sight down Newcastle Chambers alley, The Chameleon is a music lovers haven with a tasty craft beer menu in the heart of the city.

Reviewed By andrewhA6968SQ - Nottingham, United Kingdom

We’ve (me and Mrs H) been to jazz clubs up and down the UK and as far as we’re concerned Peggy’s has combined the best of all of them and plonked it right in the heart of Nottingham. We started going when Tank and the Bangas appeared earlier last year...a band we’d never seen before but WOW...what a night! They’re on at Ronnie Scott’s in March this year so Peggy’s were well ahead of the game. Since then we’ve become regulars...introducing many of our jazz loving (and fun/food loving) friends to the venue. We’re trying to slowly work through the menu and perhaps have a couple of dishes each on each occasion...but it’s hard to move on as all the food is fabulously tasty and well prepared...I’m stuck on the Lahma Bi Ajeen and the Loobia Sabzi Pollo at the moment but determined to widen my horizons! There’s a great range of drinks and although I’m a draught real ale drinker normally, the Meantime London Pale Ale...a keg beer...hits the spot perfectly. The reason I’ve been prompted to submit this review now is because we took some friends to eat and see the Chet Baker session last Sunday lunchtime and we were completely blown away with it. The line up...Paul Deats on piano, Thom Whitworth on trumpet (and vocals too) and Simon Paterson on bass and vocals...were a complete inspiration. The performance was up there with the best I’ve ever seen, brilliant timing and interpretation...such skilful musicians. We hope that the session is repeated. The food was as exquisite as usual. In fact we enjoyed the afternoon so much that at the end of the session we went for a drink elsewhere in town for an hour or so and booked tickets on my tinter phone to return for the evening jam session at 5pm...another must. And yes, we ate again too!

Metronome

Metronome is a national centre for music, moving image, video games, live performance and spoken word based in Nottingham. Anchored around a 400-capacity (228 seated) venue, Metronome delivers an ambitious, diverse and contemporary cross-media programme.

Reviewed By izziecrofts

I went in Feb and it was an evening show, in the city you can imagine panicking at the thought of having to queue in the cold and dark!! But metronome let every attender wait inside for the gig, I’m not sure if this happens with every event as this was my first one, but it made the night so much more stress free. The building is beautiful inside and the actual gig room is ideal, it’s intimate and you’re right next to the artist. My only issue was that the signing for the band was after the show, and with long queues it can be difficult to know exactly what time you’re leaving, which might be difficult if you’re getting a bus/train back. Nevertheless, I can’t wait for an artist I like to go to metronome again, it’s become one of my favourite venues just from that one night.

Went to see “The knot of the Heart” - wow! What a performance. The whole cast were magnificent and clearly director and other support staff contributed to this amazing play. East Enders eat your heart out. This is real acting.

Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall

The Theatre Royal & Royal Concert Hall are 2 first class entertainment venues in Nottingham. Come and see top West End musicals and plays, opera and ballet, pop, rock and classical music, children's shows and side-splitting comedy.

Reviewed By DavePuls - Nottingham, United Kingdom

The Theatre Royal and Concert Hall are of course both amazing venues, but this review is mainly about Opera North. Such a privilege to be able to see a huge opera with full orchestra in Nottingham. They must have had 150 people in this production and although the tickets are expensive it's still good value. The whole opera was amazing and I'd highly recommend anything by Opera North, who do many performances here every year. Upper circle had good views. Not much legroom and not very comfortable seats, but it's worth it to see such a great performance in an iconic venue.

Palace Theatre

Reviewed By peterf688 - Grantham, United Kingdom

Year after year, grand parents, mum & dad and a granddaughter would never miss the Newark 'Panto'. Superb professional front line actors, and the choreography of the young supporting members of the troupe are excellent. Congratulations to all and especially for those unseen behind the wings. The set this year was of a truly magnificent standard and must have been 'borrowed' from a much larger production. We are all really fortunate that shows of this standard can be produced for our home town. Yes, we have already booked for this year !!
