Wednesday11 Nov
On the second and fourth Wednesday of the month the Canalhouse Comedy Night starts at 7.30 pm: a new-act, new-material night, with the odd big name dropping in.
Thursday12 Nov
Rock City and Rescue Rooms are next to each other, and the city's bars and venues have live music almost any night of the week. The Lace Market and Hockley are the streets to start in.
Friday13 Nov
The Motorpoint Arena and the Royal Concert Hall stage the big touring concerts. Hockley and the Lace Market are where the bars and clubs are, and Rock City is next to Rescue Rooms.
Saturday14 Nov
Nottingham Contemporary stays open until 6 pm on Saturdays. Have a pint at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem under the castle rock, see a show at the Theatre Royal or the Playhouse, then go on to Hockley or Rock City.
Sunday15 Nov
Walk in the deer park at Wollaton and see the Natural History Museum in the hall (11 am to 4 pm), or go to Nottingham Contemporary, open from 11 am.
Monday16 Nov
Nottingham Contemporary is closed on Mondays, but Wollaton Hall and its museums are open daily from 11 am. In the evening Broadway's box office is open daily from midday, so a film is the easy plan.
