WPT comes to the home of UK poker, Dusk Till Dawn in September for over nine days of action and guarantees of $2.5m!

With buy-in ranges set to encourage players of all abilities the opportunity to take part, it may be hard to tear yourself away from the poker offerings, but Nottingham is a city full of culture, interest, and entertainment! Take a look at some of the activities on offer in Nottingham this autumn!

Tour Time!

Explore the city with a range of tours and get the know the city’s history and culture.

With Nottingham Castle currently undergoing a mass transformation and due to reopen in 2020, the city tours will give you another opportunity and way to view Nottingham. Historical tours and even Pub tours with a twist will make for a fun outing.

Take the Escape Challenge

The UK’s fastest-growing craze, Escape Rooms, will not only test your brain outside of the poker action but also give you an excellent activity for all to enjoy. Nottingham is not short of Escape Rooms to try, and with prices averaging around £25-30 per person, this is a great afternoon/evening group activity.

City of Caves

Located just a ten-minute drive from Dusk Till Dawn, is the City of Caves, which features a formerly hidden maze of over 500 original sandstone caves underneath the streets of Nottingham dating back to the dark ages. The caves are not only a sight to wonder at but also were vital during WWII as protection for those seeking refuge.

The Competitive Edge

Poker isn’t the only competitive activity taking place in Nottingham across October, with the city’s football action also on offer! Championship side and former two-time European champions Nottingham Forest FC host London outfit Brentford at the City Ground at 3 pm on Saturday, October, 5.

Just across the river, is Meadow Lane, home of National League side Notts County FC, with County and Forest famous for having the closest grounds in England! You can catch County take on AFC Fylde on Saturday, September 28.

Laugh the Night Away

Away from the array of pubs, clubs and bars on offer in Nottingham are a few hidden gems to take your evening’s entertainment to the next level, with one of them being ‘Just The Tonic‘  comedy club.

Every Saturday night, comedic talent from across the UK in a brand new location of the Metronome will provide laughs galore, and with tickets starting from just £12.50, it makes for great value for money!
